Same problem with 4.10, hanging at the boot with the above message. I disabled
DMA mode for the HDs, and it booted. But then I got an error when partitioning
the drive ("too big?"). Can Freebsd handle IDE drives > 128 GB? Thanks for your
offer of help, but I think I will use the space otherwise. Not very tempting
anymore, when it starts like this. I will see however, what I can do, to make
Yace run under Freebsd.
