This may not be sparc64 specific, but. I have a Netra X1 that I've = been netbooting, to eventually install FreeBSD onto its disks. Booting = a recent stable/9. with the old disks (one 80G, one 250G), I would see = the following [sort] of errors during [net]boot: (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00 (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00 (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00 (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00 (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00 (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout (ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Error 5, Retries exhausted In the past, with the old disks, it was ada1, not ada0, and that was = the 250G disk that has been reporting errors when the system was running = off of it (NetBSD 5.1). So I assumed that was the problem. However, = I've replaced the disks with a pair of 320GB disks, and am now having = that same problem and messages both during boot, and when trying to = configure the disks with gpart, for both disks. Is this some sort of size issue? And, is there any way around it? = NetBSD works on the machine, so I assume it's not that the hardware is = deficient in some way with larger PATA disks... - Chris
