You were right. I accidentally mixed up the primary and secondary IDE
cables. However, I switched them back and now I am still getting tons of
these errors:
ad1: WARNING - READDMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying)
...and I can't boot into FreeBSD. It just puts me in single user mode.
It almost appears as if my hard drives somehow were damaged when I
switched cases. However, Windows works just fine. I tried running fsck
and I still get the errors. Does anyone have any clue what I can do about
this?
Thanks
/Brian
