I have a P90 with on board IDE. I installed BSD. Everything worked fine  
except when I booted up off the hard drive.  It gives a read error and  
never even starts to boot up. if I take the drive to another machine it  
works no problem. 
If I boot up with thr floppy and give it paramateres to switch to the HD  
it works fine... Any ideas??
