I'm trying to install FreeBSD for the first time, from the Walnut Creek 2.1.0 CD. The bootdisk boots just fine, but whenever I go into the "Novice" section, it informs me that it could not locate my hard drive (a WD 3275s 2.1 gig SCSI drive, on id0). It seems to handle my NCR3c810 controller fine, and recognize the HP drive and my Matshita CR-504 (SCSI) CD-ROM drive, located on id0 and id1, respectively. As I select "Quit" from the install menu (my only real option), I can see error messages as the system reboots. Best as I can reassemble (I can't find a way to read them except in the few tenths of a second before the system reboots), the messages appear to be: sd0:ncr0(0:0:0) asc:4e,0 ABORTED COMMAND I've been through the freebsd.org mailing list archives, the hardware FAQ, etc, and can't seem to find anything remotely resembling this problem. The system is new (<1mth old), so hardware/configuration problems are possible, but it's worked well under Linux (redhat and debian) as well as *gasp* win95. Does anyone have any suggestions for possible fixes/places to look? Hell, I wouldn't mind just being able to *read* the error messages as they flew by. Thanks for any help anyone could give, - Jeff Bewley wabbit@ionet.net Basic system information: Pentium 100mhz, 32 megs non-EDO RAM, NCR3c810 (rev 2) controller, Diamond Stealth Graphics 2001 video card, 2.1 gig HP SCSI drive, 4x Matshita CDROM, Zoom internal faxmodem (com4), ms-busmouse(com1) -- ***********************ioNet Tech Support************************* * Jeff Bewley - wabbit@ionet.net - http://www.ionet.net/~wabbit/ * ******************************************************************
