Hi!
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.3-RELASE on Compaq Deskpro 4000 model 5166 (for details see attached file inspectb.txt):

Then I tried to install it: - with ACPI disabled - in safe mode / single user mode - with every valid BIOS configuration/physical setup of drives - with hw.ata.ata_dma and/or hw.ata.atapi_dma set to 0 - with hw.pci.enable_io_modes set to 0 - after upgrading BIOS (and diagnostic partition) - with tweaked values hint.ata0.xxx and hint.ata1 - with translating of drive CHS parameters disabled - without any partitions defined (disk completely cleared) - with UDMA66 enabled and disabled (also in HDD's firmware) but I didn't succeed either...

Did you try with the BIOS's "PLUG-N-PLAY OS" set to OFF/NO?
Just a thought.
