Hi,
  I am having trouble installing FreeBSD. I first tryed installing
FreeBSD5.0-RELEASE but the computer freezes each time it is probing for
devices. I read the trouble shooting in the manual pages and tryed to use
set hint.acip.0.disabled="1". But then it frooze when loading the kernel.
Then I tryed to download new floppy images this time for FreeBSD4.8-RELEASE
and it still freezes when loading kernel. I have searched the net for a
solution to my problem but have not found any. It freezes right after these
lines if it helps:

ad4: 29314MB<IBM-DLTA-307030>[59560/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100
ad5: 39266MB<1C35L040AVER07-0>[79780/16/63] at ata2-slave UDMA100

Since I am quite new to BSD I have no idea what might cause this. A
spontaneous guess would be that my hard drives are causing the fuss. If
anyone could help me with this I would be very greatful. Thanks.

Best Regards,
Lennart Filutowski
