Replace that >drive soon - it's not a bug, it's a cry for help.. Jordan, I don't think that it is a hardware problem. I had similar a similar problem also. I have an 540M IDE drive which worked fine at work. I took it at home to have more space, and when I tried to install FreeBSD on this same HD, it caused the similar problem. In my case, it worked for a few minutes, and after then it continued to cause the above problem during the boot up. At first time I thought that it was my HD's problem, but I can run DOS/Linux on that HD without problem. I really don't know what the problem is. I did not have enough time to try harder and I just stopped installing FreeBSD at home :( -- Woody Jin
