Since 3.2 ports are no longer available online, and to take advantage of new features such as built-in openssh 1.2, I wanted to install 4.0-RELEASE. However, after downloading the boot floppies and beginning the install, cannot access the hard drive. System returns messages such as ad0: HARD READ ERROR, blk 0 status=59, error=04, primary partition table, error reading fsbn 0, etc. Obviously installation fails at this point. >How-To-Repeat: Reinstalled with different hard drive, adjustments to BIOS settings (i.e., turn off "PNP OS" setting), etc. As mentioned, system works normally with FreeBSD 3.2, Debian Linux 2.2, Windows NT (ssssh!) and, um, Windows 95. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
