David,

Take a look at this pr:

<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=38198>

Do you happen to know what the models the motherboard and cdrom drive are?

I'd like to know what those of us experiencing this problem can do to assist
towards determining a solution. I hope my pr submission to a closed pr was
not the right action to take - perhaps someone could let me know?
