>Description:
I am trying to install freebsd 6 on a pc and it bombs trying to create
the file systems. 

pc summary:
Motherboard = MSI KT4AV 
Hard Drive  = maxtor 6y080l0 80 gig hard drive.

Thats all i will list since this i have a feeling is where the problem is.

The errors I recieve are
(every time ive tried to install so far i get) 
unable to make new root file system on /dev/ad0sla. Command returned status 36.

and 

Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0slb in /dev.  The creation of file
systems will be aborted. 

I get an error stating that my hard drive dimensions arent right and
I've tried everything from changing them manually in the bios and setting
them in fdisk to just letting it be and trying to install without
monkeying with it.

Please help.

Thanks.
