I'm having difficulty with the ISO image of FreeBSD 5.1. The same problem also appeared in 5.0, but since 5.1 had come out, I decided to try that before reporting this bug. When booting the installer off the CD-ROM and doing a Standard install, you first get to the stage of partitioning a hard drive. Then you get to the stage where distributions are chosen. After that, it wants you to choose install media. I choose CD/DVD, and suddenly it says: "No CD/DVD devices found!" This is strange, since I clearly have been able to boot from it, and the boot loader seems to find it. On a whim, I also tried to choose "Floppy" for the install, but that didn't work either: "No floppy devices found!" This is more than strange. It's truly bizarre. In the boot loader it says: BIOS CD is cd0 BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 And just before it dumps into /stand/sysinstall, I get: ata1-master: timeout waiting for interrupt ata1-master: ATAPI identify failed The system is new, and has had no OS installed on it previously. I have upgraded the BIOS to the latest version. Specifications: - Microstar 865PE Neo2 LS mother board - 3 x Intel 10/100 Desktop Adapter S cards.
