Sure this is an old problem... http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=78298+0+archive/2007/freebsd-stable/20070128.freebsd-stable http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-May/035447.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-March/143730.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-qa/2006-September/000783.html Sure would be nice if someone could fix the 'real mode' 'vm86' problem that plagues FreeBSD install disks but no other OS. I am offering a $50 bounty to be paid to http://www.freebsd.org/donations/ if the standard ISO for FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE addresses this problem. In other words, if I can download the ISO, burn it to disk, and boot it off a a USB CD-ROM onto Supermicro hardware. >How-To-Repeat: Download the ISO for 7.0-BETA4 Check checksum :) Burn to disk attempt to boot disk on USB-CDROM drive attached to a Supermicro Motherboard (eg the PDSML or PDSMi) >Fix: The only acceptable fix would be a new, working ISO on ftp.freebsd.org. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
