    i'm trying to install 4.9-RELEASE from the bootable CDROMs. i can't get
    very far because it hangs during the boot process with the following error:

    ad3: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting
    ata1: resetting devices...

    and that's it. total freeze.

    i've done a little googling and most of the suggestions i've found
    center around drive cabling/jumpering. however, the system is totally
    functional under Windows XP (that's how i'm writing this message) so i'm
    pretty sure all the hardware is wired up properly.

    ideas?

    hardware: asus a7n8x motherboard, athlon xp 2200+, onboard IDE

    primary master: western digital wd1200JB
    primary slave: yamaha crw-f1e cd-rw
    secondary master: western digital wd1200JB
    secondary slave: ibm dtla-307045
