Hi,

	I recently installed FreeBSD, and I am having problem with 
installing second HD which has dos partition.  I would like to have 
a dos partition on the second HD, and I was able to newfs, fsck, and mount
the drive.  Everything works perfectly except when I reboot the machine.  
By the way, both of the drives are IDE.  When I reboot, I got a msg 
		"ISA strayintr 7" 
after /dev/wd0a was mounted(my kernal is on wd0a).  Then the system just dies.
I followd the instruction on FAQ, and didn't work.  I got the same result.  
As of now, I can not even boot the machine.  I am just wondering:

	1) is there anyway to get the system boot now?
	2) how to install the second drive? (I first did disklabel, then
	   newfs, then fsck, then mount) Am I missing some steps?

Thanks
