>Description:
   Primary IDE drive:
		ad0 19092MB <WDC WD200BB-75CAA0> [38791/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSDMA
   Secondary IDE drive:

                Seemingly and either new enough (or large enough) I have not
		figured out which is the more important factor.


Upon install I get the following:

        ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting

        ata0: resetting devices

I originally thought the problem was only with Western Digital Drives but I have been able to repeat with 
any drive that is big enough.  It seems to only occur when a drive is connected
on the primary IDE cable with another drive.   A small (4Gig) drive
(Maxtor) connected as "ad1" does not cause the problem to be exibited.

The bottom line is that the OS cannot be installed if a drive of sufficient
size or new enough is connected as the second drive on the first IDE
chain.  Windows can see and work with both drives.

         
>How-To-Repeat:
      Try the install again.
