FreeBSD seems to have problems reading DMA (READ_DMA Timeout,.....). But after this I come to sysinstall. I choose 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.

The msg went on to say it was using more reasonable values, so I went ahead with the install, and it works fine. See what happens. Patrick
