Re: Machine Check when booting dqa0?

Hi again,
        In "show device" at the SRM prompt, only my CD-ROM (DQA0) and
floppy drive (DVA0) show up. Is there something I need to do to enable the
primary IDE channel, or does the machine just not like those particular
(WD) hard drives? Is there something I need to do after the FreeBSD
install that I'm missing?

Thanks,
Josh
