Today I was handed a Sony Vaio PCG-R505JSK by my employer. Thinking this
would be simple I popped a 4.5-RELEASE disc in and rebooted. I've tried
a few things including reseting the bios settings, booting with and
without plug N play OS enabled in the bios, booting from floppy,
disabling everythign I didn't need (including pccard) in visualconfig,
but everytime I boot it has the same result, it gets to:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c

and then freezes. 

The machine has some bizarre linux distro on it right now and needless
to say I'm not about to use that. :)

Anyone have any suggestions?
