This really > sucks. out of interest, what motherboard/chipset have you got? 4.1-release worked fine with my older QDI Legend V motherboard (until it exploded, that was nothing to do with FreeBSD though). Is there any way of substituting the ata driver for a different version, without downloading the complete CD ISO again? Would I be able to download the install floppies for an earlier version of FreeBSD then install the OS from those plus the 4.1-release CD? I've got a sneaking suspicion that if I kick the hard drive down to PIO only in freeBSD after it's installed, then it will work....of course, I could be wrong, but as I can't even get it to install there's not much I can do.
