Hi Matthew,

I just got exactly the same problem with 4.6 RELEASE
The installation stops at 0% because of that error:

ac0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting
ATA0: RESETTING dev.. acd0

DMA limited to UDMA 33, non ATA66 cable or device

The motherboard is IntelSE440BX2. Before 4.6 it was
Firewall with FreeBSD 4.3 for about a year without
any problems. The IDE cable is NOT ATA66 this is true!

I was able to continue the installation with FTP installation
instead of CDROM. It may be due to bad CDROM drive or changes into
ATA driver, I don't know yet.

The FTP installation may take little bit longer because
of the load on the ftp.freebsd.org but you can try
to find a mirror close to you!

Hope that helps!

--Miro

Hi,

i just downloaded the freebsd 4.6 iso and tried installing it on my computer.

everything works fine up untill it goes to "Extracting bin into / directory'
then it just freezes at 0%...

i've tried reinstalling several times but everytime it just stops there..

i've had no problems with this on 4.4 or 4.5...

thanks in advance
