The partition that I wanted to install FreeBSD to is wd1s4. However, with both 2.1.6 and the 2.2 beta the install fails and the following error message appears in VC2: wd1: interrupt timeout: wd1: status 58<rdy, seekdone, drq> error 0 wd1: interrupt timeout: wd1: status 58<rdy, seekdone, drq> error 1<no_dam> I diabled *everything* I don't need in the kernel, leaving only the console driver, floppy driver and the wdc0 (IRQ 14) HD driver. And I still get the same error message. I looked in the "bug report database" and the closest thing I found was report "kern/2094" for which there was not any fix :(. Is it because I have two drives on the same controller? Should I completely unplug the other one during the install? If I did this would the problem come back when the drive was re-enabled? Thanks for any help, James -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Due the the huge amounts of spam e-mail I have received I am no longer including my e-mail address in a machine readable format in postings, therefore you will not be able to just hit "e-mail reply", sorry for the trouble, I am bramal -=( at )=- iamerica.net
