>Description:
After installing FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE (all but xFree86), the machine was fine. shutdown for the night, turn it back on, and the harddrive was dead, tried the harddrive in 3 other machines, BIOS reports no harddrive connected.  This is the second time this has occurred, both drives were fine until I installed FreeBSD.

I'm sorry, but this is a worthless PR.  You need to specify 
your hard drive types, how you did the installation, and what 
happens when you try to boot in the morning.  Otherwise, there 
is nothing we can do (besides attempt to read your mind).

Feedback timeout... 

It's very unlikely that FreeBSD kills harddisks, anyway.
