The HD's are Quantum Atlas 2Gigs. I have been monkeying with this too long, if I can't get it working it's back to rock stable NT. :) Has anyone run into a similar problem?

One machine we have here exhibits this error... We got around it by _not_
insalling FreeBSD on a dedicated partition... 2.2.7 installed with a
non-dedicated partition (using the 'compatible with other operating
systems/booteasy' boot loader) worked fine...

If we tried to use a dedicated partition (This would be sensible as the
machine is just a 2.2.7 box made into a router) we would get "read error" when
it tried to boot...

If you've already tried this - let us know...
