I had been running a similar computer with Windows XP with it. The

a utility to test hard drives which boots from CD but like I said, when
this drive is on a cable connected to any machine, booting is a
non-option. I have an old IDE controller but it's ISA and I have
not ISA slots on this computer. Looks like I may have to try the USB
drive boot option to get on with this rescue.
Weirdness.. ok, i was wondering - you said you installed an old drive to
check it out, and I was thinking hmm 80gb, maybe setting on the shelf for
a decade :)
I do recall having a similar issue with a drive, but it was years and years
ago- my memory hazed, and not necessarily (probably not) related to FreeBSD
install. If you aren't getting POST then it sounds hardware related to me.
Good Luck,
Waitman

Aloha,
I had this happen with using [Cable Select] on an 80G ISA drive jumper
and after I switched to [Master] it worked fine. In any case it does
sound like hardware. Try switching the cable. It may be broken.
