    Im sure that this question has been answered about a 1000 times
    on this list, but I couldnt find the answer in the archive.

    I have a machine that 'dual' boots windows2000 and several
    versions of Linux (rh8, rh8, Fedora2, + others) and everything works fine.

    I have, over the last year tried installing FreeBSD 4.9, 5.2, 5.2.1, and
    I always end up with the same problem. The install seems to go fine,
    but when I boot, I get the message
        
        xl0: watchdog timeout

    and I have no networking.

    This CANT be a hardware problem, since the other OS run fine, yet Ive
    got to be awfully dense (and consistant) to get the same error with each
    release of FreeBSD..

    So what am I doing wrong???

    [[ For reference, I DID have a version of FreeBSD on a previous machine
    several years ago,- I dont remember problems like THIS ]]
