Hi!
This is very similar to this thread here (Install of 8-3-RELEASE renders hard drive unusable) except that 8.3 works fine but 9.x doesn't.
The computer is an old P4 2.4GHz on a MSI P4VM800 motherboard, it's got an Award BIOS. The problem is that whenever bsdinstall partitions my drive (I've tried both MBR and GPT), the computer would hang at the POST at the next reboot.
The only way to fix it was to pull out the HDD power cable, turn on the PC, power up the drives manually after booting and delete the partitions. Could you guys give me some pointers on how I could get 9.x to partition it properly? Or is the support of this hardware being phased out?
