>Environment:

Dell PowerApp Web 100, no HD

>Description:

When booting the machine using the 5.1-BETA mini install ISO sysinstall
complains that the / file system is full and then panics with "going nowhere
without my init" while in the initial "probing hardware" stage. As the machine
has no HD I didn't expect success but I seem to recall a no HDs detected
message last time I had a machine with no drives rather than a panic.

>How-To-Repeat:

Boot  machine with no drives (I haven't actually tried any other machines so
it may be something unique in this Dell.

>Fix:

 I have experienced the exact same symptoms while trying to boot the
 install CD-ROM for 5.1-RELEASE on my new Intel 875P motherboard system.
 I have two SATA hard drives in a RAID 0 config (NTFS format for Win XP),
 so I'm assuming that FreeBSD is not seeing them correctly and is reacting
 as if no drives are in the system.
 
 I _can_ boot the 5.0-RELEASE CD-ROM, however, which then reports that there
 are no hard drives in system.
 
 I am currently trying different BIOS settings to see whether the "legacy" mode
 will make them appear as regular IDE drives.  In any case, it seems like this
 should not cause a panic.

 I've been able to replicate this issue using VMWare with no hard drives 
 configured on FreeBSD 5.1.
 Using the same setup but with a 5.5 CD I get the correct message about 
 no disks being
 configured, so this issue appears to have been fixed.
