Hi,
=20
I am very new to FreeBSD. So pls be patient.
I try to install FreeBSD 6.1 on my Amilo 3438G. It has a VIA VT 6421 inside=
. I have 2 80GB HDs configured as Raid0. I have one partition (80GB) with W=
indows XP SP2.
Now I want to install FreeBSD 6.1 as second boot option. While booting the =
Setup I can see that FreeBSD recognize 2 HDs (ad4 and ad6).
The Log indicates that there are problems with these drives (which my Windo=
ws and the VIA Tool do not recognize).  FreeBSD seems to have problems read=
ing DMA (READ_DMA Timeout,.....). But after this I come to sysinstall. I ch=
oose custom Installation and Partition. I have 3 drives (ad4, ad6, ar0). If=
 I select ar0 it is totaly unused. ad6 reports: A geometry of 155061/16/63 =
is incorrect....
Also ad6 is unused. ad4 reports the same problem. But in ad4 I can see my N=
TFS partition (ad4s1).
