Hello,

Sorry that I submit the bug this way, but the problem prevents me from us=
ing=20
FreeBSD.

When booting the installer, everything works fine, but after some time I =
get a=20
message like this:
ad1 WRITE timed out ... ???=3D0 ???=3D0
ata0: resetting devices...
done
The longer the installer runs the more of these messages I get, after som=
e=20
time repeating three, four or even six times after eachother.

When the system was finally installed, launching the installer was enough=
 to=20
start getting these messages again. Because each time I get one the hardd=
isk=20
locks up for a few seconds this makes FreeBSD pretty useless for me.

NetBSD, Linux and Windows work fine, NetBSD even on the same disk partiti=
on,=20
so it really seems to be a bug in FreeBSD.

Another problem I found, was that while installing I made a 5 GB disklabe=
l and=20
let FreeBSD choose the partition layout. Now halfway of the complete=20
installation the system started complaining that /mnt/var had no more ino=
des=20
left.

Daan.
