From his email.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ if you hit a key (other than Enter) at the bootloader prompt during CD boot, and type: set hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 it should let you it install. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doug Barton also posted a similar email. He suggested the following... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hw.ata.ata_dma="1" hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, it looks like set hw.ata.atapi_dma to 1 and if that doesn't work set both hw.ata.ata_dma & hw.ata.atapi_dma to 1 and retry. So far, it looks like AOpen CD-Rom drives need hw.ata.atapi_dma set to 1 for things to jive right. Then after fbsd 4.6 is installed you'll need to add the "set line" to your /boot/loader.conf.
