Ok, fresh install using 9.2 Disk1 over a network install.
First thing done, select vt100, then exit to shell. Then:
[No errors reported]
On boot completion login as root, then do the following:
I have dd'd the first 34 blocks, and the LBA identified block and the whole disk at least five times each now, never with an error and all resulting in the same boot.
The host is a HP BL10e Blade (one of 20) - the other Blades do not have this problem - this is the only WD drive in the Blade center so that could be part of it.
Any clues?
I see multiple people reporting similar issues for 9.0rc3 but not 9.2 with various hardware, suggestions were RAID and gmirror being run or a faulty drive, but neither RAID are the case here. The drive could be faulty, but if it is surely either the dd or the recoverdisk would report a problem (at least once).
Thanks in advance.

First thing done, select vt100, then exit to shell. Then:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 bs=512
recoverdisk /dev/ada0- Exit the shell, select install, set the hostname and select defaults until complete.
- Select IPv4 only DHCP.
- Set TZ to Malta (Europe).
- Set network services to default+ntp.
- Exit on completion.
- Exit to the shell.
- Edit (using vi) /boot/loader.conf.
- Add:
Code:# Give preference to VGA console #console="vidconsole,comconsole" # Uncomment below and comment above to give serial console preference console="comconsole" comconsole_speed="115200" comconsole_port="0x3F8" boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 hint.apic.0.disabled=1 hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1 hw.eisa_slots=0 #hint.uart.0.flags="0x00" hint.uart.0.at="isa" hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" hint.uart.0.irq="4" hint.uart.1.flags="0x00" hint.uart.1.at="isa" hint.uart.1.port="0x2F8" hint.uart.1.irq="3" - Save/quit.
