Hi Soeren, > Would it help to get the rest of the line? of how can i help debug? Is the hd:10 partition > 8Gb ? I don't know if ofw can read past that on the B&W. If you can get to the point where the ATA disk is being accessed and have problems, try disabling DMA at the loader with set hw.ata.ata_dma=0 later, Peter.
