Hi,

i have some trouble with getting a new (hand-ish) install to boot from
a 160 GB SAMSUNG SV1604N.
The system does boot netboot correctly, but not local. The linux file-
system is formatted with "-r 0 -o none". Limiting the drive to 32GB
did not help, unfortunately.

This is the new drive (btw. it's a 5400 rpm model):

wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <SAMSUNG SV1604N>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing
wd0: 149 GB, 16383 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 312581808 sectors
wd0: 32-bit data port
wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 5 (Ultra/100)
pciide0: primary channel interrupting at irq 14
wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 (Ultra/33) (using DMA data transfers)
