I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE on one of my "toy"
machines, an ol' P5-66 from Gateway. I first tried the 'make world'
approach last night, but managed to wedge the machine into a pretty
much unusable state when the installworld kept failing in the middle.

Anyway, I downloaded the 4.0-RELEASE and burned it in a CD. The
machine won't boot from CD, so I made the floppies. However, the
kernel won't boot, it panics. Here is the last few lines of kernel
messages (this is after the visual config which seems to work[0]),

atapci0: <RZ 100? ATA controller !WARNING! buggy chip data loss possible> port 0x3f4-0x3f7,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 1.0 on pci0
atapci0: Busmastering DMA not supported
panic: resource_list_alloc: resource entry is busy
Uptime: 0s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort

I'm assuming that the panic has someting to do with the ominous
message with the atapci0 info? Then again... maybe not.

The system worked without a hitch in 3.x-STABLE (until I mucked up the
upgrade). I saw some caveats about some disk drivers, but it didn't
look like an Intel RZ1000 would be a problem.

Any help?

[0] One thing I did notice in the visual config, no ex0 device. Is
that an intentional deletetion or is something else going on?
