Hi folks,

I'm trying to install BSD 2.1.0 on a WD 850meg caviar drive.

I have a standard IDE controller, and configured the drive
in LBA mode to get full capacity.

Installation goes smoothly, but the system flakes out and reboots
early while loading the kernel.

DOS runs fine, so it's apparently not a hardware problem.
Also, BSD runs fine on my old 234 meg Maxtor drive.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

-Jason
