I was looking through the archives, because I know this problem has come up before, but I couldn't find a solution in any of the articles. My problem is this. When performing the 4.0-RELEASE installation from the ISO image, I get through all the package selection, disk partitioning, etc. setup, but when it comes time to actually perform the disk formatting I get this error on the error console: ad0: WRITE command timeout - resetting at0: [attempting?] resetting devices How can I correct this? Is it necessary to turn of DMA, and if so, how do I do that, and what is the penalty for doing that? This is an AMD K6, with a generic hard drive. Adam H. Pendleton Security Engineer VGS, Inc.
