>Description:
  Install destination: IBM i386 clone; Matsonic MS6260S main-board, ALI 15xx 
100MHz chipset; AMD K6-2 350MHz processor (not overclocked); 128Mb RAM; hard 
drives - WD 8Gb pri. master, WD 30Gb pri. slave, FreeBSD install to pri. 
master; AOpen 52X CDROM as sec. master; video - ATI Rage Pro AGP, 8Mb; 
Samsung SyncMaster 753DF monitor; RTL8139 NIC; no sound card; PS/2 Logitech 
trackball; USB ports present, but not used.

Installation hung right at ports install; installing without ports got same 
result.
Message: "panic: page fault
                  syncing disks..... 33 33 33 33 33 33 33 (etc)
                  giving up on 1 buffers"
VT number 2 showed a timeout problem

I tried the fix suggested at the freebsd.org site:
FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE Errata, 3 Late-Breaking News
(regarding "enter 3 lines at the ok prompt"), to fix the AOpen CD drive 
problem: same result.

Installation was successful only after I pulled the AOpen 52X CDROM and 
replaced it with a HP 8X.

FreeBSD 4.5 was installed previously (with the AOpen 52X CD drive) without 
any complications at all.
