I tried using the FreeBSD 4.7 CD, in case it was a problem with 5.0 but it did not work. I assume this has something to do with some feature my laptop has that has not been implemented yet? I read somewher that ata had something to do with CD devices and that certain fast CD devices cause boot to hang, but this CDRW/DVD combo drive is not ultra fast 8x/16x/24x/8x. I thought it was worth reporting this so that this laptop can be added to the list of known non-working laptops or whatever. I would be interested in knowing what the problem is, and if there is a workaround, or if there is likely to be a workaround or fix in the near future?
