The objective it's to use one of the scsi disk on the system to boot and have the rest of the OS on the to ide disks in RAID 1. My Problem is: 1- When i boot the freebsd cd normally i get this messages: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out LBA=0 ad1: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ad1: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out LBA=0 And i can eaven see the disk geometry in the label tool of sysinstall. 2 - If i set hw.ata.ata_dma=0 on the boot, the messages disappears. If i switch from mode PIO4 to udma33 or udma66 with atacontrol there is no problem, at leas i can label the disk normally, But in this case only one of the disk can be accessed, only ad0! Because if i try to use disklabel on ad1 the above message appear again! If i change to udma100 (the maximum that is supported by the two disks) the same message appears. 3- I boot with set hw.ata.ata_dma=0 and i change to udma66, when i start the installation i get a panic. I don't want to use less then udma66, of course :( I already try various cable (all 80 conductor cable ). When i try to use the same promise pdc20269 ide controller in a regular x86 box it works normally. Another question what i need to do to force udma66 on boot? Anyone can help me, please?

Is alpha package removed from ftp servers? Probably. There have also been issues building packages for Alpha the past few releases, so there may not have been any pre-built packages.

At boot I can see that my disk is recognized (a SCSI disk on a Symbios Logic controller, nothing special here): ... da0 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 16) da0: 8761MB ... When I follow the standard FreeBSD installation procedure as explained in the handbook I simply can't initialize my disk. As I understand, there is no fdisk-step on the alpha architecture, so I should directly use disklabel to create my partitions. The problem is that my disk doesn't show up in the usual disklabel selection area...any clue why? The disk is perfectly visible on a RedHat/Gentoo Linux installation so it isn't a hardware problem.

Most likely there is an old disklabel of some sort (can be Tru64, VMS, or Linux) already on the disk. Try zero-ing the beginning of the disk, something like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=10 bs=1m' will typically do it.

I ended up booting my linux CD (CentOS 4.2 Alpha), went to the console, did a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=10 bs=1000, ran fdisk /dev/sda and created a BSD disk label. Now it shows up fine when I start the FreeBSD installation.
