Hardware config:

Asus 55TP4XE 100MHz Pentium (Triton)
16M Ram
A2940/4Gig SCSI drive
Intel Ether Express at 0x5, 0xd0000, 32k
mcd0 disabled, ix0 irq set to 5.
Diamond Stealth Video VRAM Card

Problem:

On any freebsd install 2.0.5 thru 10/26, I get the following error message  
on the install terminal after commit:

sysinstall: Read/Write error.  I'm going nowhere without my inits.

On the console I get:

aha0: more than 256 DMA bufs
init(x,x,x) died.


What I've tried:

2.0.5 10/10 10/26 installers always using FTP install over ix0.  Same  
config, but using wdc0 and an IDE drive, similar error, but w/o the aha  
message.   This box runs NextStep/for intel, win95 and appears to have no  
problems with the hardware.


Thanks for any help,
