>Description:
I am currently running FreeBSD 3.5.1 on a Gericom NB with AMD K6-2/500
196 MB RAM, VIA integrated chipset (Trident Cyber Blade etc.). Disc is
Toshiba MK6015MAP (6 GB). 
In an attempt to upgrade to 4.1/4.2/4.3 I harvest a complete desaster:

- The installation succeeds with some write failures.
- After the first reboot the file system is "mangeled" and the system 
  starts with a default shell, since even /etc/fstab is not evaluated. 
- Strange enough, some parts of /bin, /sbin, /usr/.. are intact thus some
  command work.
- No chance to fix it manually via fsck - to many failures (like
  (double used inodes etc.).
- The NB works fine with WinNT and FreeBSD 3.5.1.
- Pls. remember: The VIA Southbridge VT82686A (Rev. 0x06) is not the
  VT82686_B_.
- The problem is independent whether I raise on the BSD slices more 
  filesystems (eg. /, /usr,..). Currently I have simply a swap and a /.


>How-To-Repeat:
Simply reinstall 4.x on that Notebook.
>Fix:
Simply stay with the old ATA-Drivers/FreeBSD Release.

 Hmm, the '686A is supported in 4.3 so thats not the problem, you should
 try to disable DMA on 4.3 and see if that solves the problem.
