At partdisk it tells me The following disk devices were found. sdD0 - TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E D.0C09/14/03 Disk to partition (sdD0)[sdD0]: No mention of the hard disk. Typing sdC0 at the prompt doesn't help. Neither does turning off DMA. The relevant hardware, as found by NetBSD, is NetBSD 3.0 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Dec 19 01:04:02 UTC 2005 builds@works.netbsd.org:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-3-0-RELEASE/i386/200512182024Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-3-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC RTC BIOS diagnostic error 18 BIOS32 rev. 0 found at 0xffe90 mainbus0 (root) pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 pci0: i/o space, memory space enabled, rd/line, rd/mult, wr/inv ok piixide1 at pci0 dev 31 function 2 piixide1: Intel 82801EB Serial ATA Controller (rev. 0x02) piixide1: bus-master DMA support present piixide1: primary channel configured to native-PCI mode piixide1: using irq 9 for native-PCI interrupt atabus1 at piixide1 channel 0 piixide1: secondary channel configured to native-PCI mode wd0 at atabus1 drive 0: wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing wd0: 149 GB, 310019 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 312500000 sectors wd0: 32-bit data port wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 6 (Ultra/133) wd0(piixide1:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 (Ultra/133) (using DMA) Any ideas? -- John Stalker University of Dublin, Trinity College School of Mathematics
