Hey, after failing to get FreeBSD working with my ASUS F70SL Notebook I tried to get it to work on [I][COLOR="Blue"]Toshiba Tecra A10-M14[/COLOR][/I]. I downloaded the [FILE]FreeBSD-9.1-REALEASE-disc1.iso[/FILE] from the official FreeBSD homepage and burnt it with [I][COLOR="Blue"]Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013[/COLOR][/I]. Now, if I select "Boot from CD-ROM" in my notebooks BIOS it detects the CD, starts to boot from, it but only for about 1 second. After this the screen blackens, the notebook reboots and boots normally from HDD (even tough I still have the CD inserted and the CD-ROM drive is still the first boot device). This happens that fast I don't even have a chance to get a picture of the error that might occur. Any ideas about BIOS settings I may change? I burnt the CD twice by the way, with different burning software, to avoid damaged or incomplete disc. Thanks in advance!
