The workaround has been to disable firewire in the BIOS. Aha! That's a great clue.

It has firewire. From /var/log/messages under FreeBSD 8.1-stable: fwohci0: <1394 Open Host Controller Interface> mem 0xfbdff800-0xfbdfffff,0xfbdff400-0xfbdff47f,0xfbdff000-0xfbdff07f,0xfbdfec00-0xfbdfec7f irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci1 fwohci0: [ITHREAD] fwohci0: OHCI version 1.10 (ROM=0) fwohci0: No. of Isochronous channels is 4. fwohci0: EUI64 00:1e:8c:00:00:2c:b8:9a fwohci0: Phy 1394a available S400, 2 ports. So a quick tour into the bios to disable the firewire, then back to boot from the 7.4-BETA1 cd. Yes, it works now, and while I have been wrinting this message, it has just finished installing. Great advice. Thanks! > Otherwise, run 8.x. I do already, see my other posting in this thread. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
