Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help

Sat Mar 11 22:47:47 UTC 2006

Hello,

may I ask you for help with the following Problem:
When I try to install FreeBsd6.0, there is the following error during the
boot process (because the system is not able to boot from CD, I have to boot
from floppy) occurs:
ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: SCB 6: immediate reset Flags 0x620
ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: No longer in timeout, status=25b
ahc0: Issued channel A bus reset, SCBs 6 aborted.
...
...
...

There are variants of the messages with different SCB, flags and status.

As a result, the install program does not find any disk.
FreeBSD5.2 is running and dmesg produces the following output:
