    Hello,

    I have got a problem with FreeBSD and my laptop, I am trying to install
    FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE on it but i get the following errors ata1-slave:
    FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out also it takes alot of time to load
    uhub1. I am trying to dualboot it with Windows XP but I dont think thats
    a problem because I installed it on my home computer without any
    problems ( also dualbooted and the same FreeBSD cd ).

    After searching though the mailing list archives I tried the following:
    At the boot prompt of the FreeBSD cd I went into the loader prompt and
    did typed the following "set hw.ata.atapi_dma="0"" after that I typed
    "boot" to continue booting up the installation. Yet it still hangs at
    the same point.

    I was hoping someone could help me getting it to boot so I can install
    it on my laptop.

    Thanks in advance,

    Roeland
