DO you recall if your gateways had that same chipset?? I am going to try when next i get a chance(at the loader prompt): set hw.hasbrokenint12=1 set hw.ata.ata_dma=0 because thsi exchange in the archives leads me to believe it's a chipset specific problem: http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.stable/browse_frm/thread/bb3484c9f7a282/d7d619bf611e0f64?lnk=st&q=serverworks+install+group% 3A*freebsd*&rnum=5&hl=en#d7d619bf611e0f64 .... On these blades i am trying to install fr a USB CD drive as the only options in the BiOS is boot fr USB Floppy, USB CD, internal HD..
