Hi Steve,
Tks for your advice.
This PC is for test only. The hard drive is a new ATA100 drive
connected to a ATA Controller. I have another hard drive, mounted on a
mobile rack, of similar model running Gentoo on this PC. It works
without problem. I think downgrading to older version might solve this
problem. I will finish testing this version first and then changing to
verison 4.9 later to continue testing FreeBSD.
B.R.
Stephen
