Hello,

First and foremost i'm new to using FreeBSD, so forgive the newbie cry for
help. But I do have experience on Linux, so know my way about a *nux
environment.

I'm currently trying to install version 5.0-CURRENT, my problem is that when
I boot off of the CDROM, it starts loading fine, probes the hardware, then
it comes up with the message:

	ata0: resetting devices

at which point it hangs. I have disabled the loading of ACPI drivers as
explained in the install.txt file, but this alas has not helped.

My hardware is as follows:
	Asus P4SC-E motherboard
	Intel CPU
	Seagate Barracuda HDD
	and Acer CDRW drive.

Can anyone please provide some insite into my problem and perhaps also
additional resource locations.


Many thanks

-James
