I've got the same Micron system, except 90Mhz, and I got the same error.
The workaround (sorry, no solution. I'm new to FreeBSD also) is to type -c
at the Boot: prompt. Then, when you get the CONFIG> prompt, type
disable matcd0
then type quit at the following CONFIG> prompt, and this will at least let
you get past this point. When you install completely you can remove MATCD0
from the device configuration permanently.
Any better solutions/explanations would be appreciated.
