hi guys, i have problem installing FreeBSD
4.8-RELEASE, though i get thesame problem from my
previous CD 4.7-RELEASE also, meaning this is a
hardware problem, when i try to boot the installation
CD. i get this following message:
plip0: <PLIP network interface > on ppbus0
ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 -resetting
ata0: resetting devices...
my system specs are the following:

my mobo supports ata 133, and i checked the hardware
support in Freebsd.org, and it supports my ata 133 and
my sis 645 chipset
i have an old cpu celeron 366 which works with
FreeBSD, but i need my p4s 533-E also to work, cause
my 366 is very slow in terms of compiling the kernel.
my friends motherboard p4s533 works well
in FreeBSD. just my motherboard has labeled p4s533-E,
the olnly difference is: p4s533 only supports ata 100
p4s533-E supports ata 133
is this because of the ata 133 thing? hope you guys
reply thanks :)
