Subject:   4.7-stable won't boot on Asus P2B-DS board :-((
Message-ID:  <20021206101722.GB259@outerheaven.net>

I have a nice one for the hardware freaks on this list;

An Asus P2B-DS board, with the latest bios (1013), 2 P-II processors, And IDE
harddisk and DVD-drive that loads a freebsd iso CD, and 512 Megs of RAM that 
count correctly won't boot 4.7-Stable. I've downloaded the latest iso just 
a few days ago.

The only weird thing that is reported is @ boot, just before the kernel
loads;
  Bios drive C: is disk2
  Bios drive C: is disk3

Whatever kind of kernel configuration I try to boot, it hangs after
detecting devices. In standard kern-conf, this is straight after "plip".

Since I'd really like to run freebsd on this machine, i'm very willing to
provide you with more debug information.

I have already tried different IDE harddisks, and putting the harddisk on a
different IDE connector.

Please please, some help would be very much appreciated.
