Not successfully installed
>Description:
While installing FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE from a cdrom burned from an
ISO image which was obtained from cdrom.com on a machine
with a new intel 820CC motherboard I encountered following problem:
After selecting the CDROM as a source for installation install program
reported an unusual problem claiming that the boot floppy (I actually
booted from this cdrom, not floppy) image version is different
from the version of the cdrom, I don't remember the numbers exactly
but it was something like: Floppy version 2.2.X, cdrom 3.4.X
After this I selected "still install from this cdrom", proceeded with
install, everything fine, installed some packages, all beautiful.
After reboot the boot manager does not work, pressing F1 boots
windos fine, but pressing F3 does nothing but beep.
Also NortonAntivirus reports a virus in the MBR, which is bull,
but I've installed 3.3-RELEASE on 10 other machines and norton
never reported anything except the MBR being changed...
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install 3.4-RELEASE by booting from a cdrom on a machine
with following configuration:

Intel 820CC motherboard
Pentium III 700Mhz CPU
256MB SDRAM [PC100]
IBM Deskstar 20.05GB Ultra ATA66 [primary master][two fat32 partitions present]
Mitsumi 48X CDROM [secondary master][booted from here]
Guillemot 3D Prophet DDR/DVI 32Mb SGRAM
SoundBlaster Live




>Fix:
Not known as of yet...  I'll try installing already tested cd with
3.3-RELEASE on the same machine and see what happens, 
maybe this is just because of the i820 chipset, if so then
3.3 should not work either, otherwise it could be the problem
with this particular ISO image that I have...
