Did you try disabling all the IDE ports that you're not using in the kernel? It's probably looking for a nonexistant drive. --------------------------------------------------------------- I am the Nickhead nickf@ptd.net --------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Atipa [SMTP:freebsd@atipa.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 1998 8:16 PM To: Jordan K.

I thought I had bad disks (or non-cooperating), so I tried every combination possible. I wasted lots o' time :(... I finally waited the 3 minutes to get an error message, but none came; it was fine! If I had been patient the first time, I am sure it would have worked too. Tried w/ 1 drive, 2 drives (MASTER/SLAVE and also 1MASTER/2MASTER).
