Considering that I used 2 different CD sources, as well as a source update, all with similar results, it would seem unlikely that a corrupted file/image could be at fault. And of course, the same hard CD can be used to install to an Intel-based machine with no failures. I've tried 3 different MB/ CPU combinations. All are Supermicro-branded, and all have the HT1000 ServerWorks chipset. I've just found Jeff Robertson's post: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20071109114636.Y639 Perhaps he can confirm the behavior. In the meantime I will try the patch posted by John Baldwin yesterday on -current, and test that with both IDE and MMIO modes. Thanks, -ms
