I don't think there is anything wrong with the build process of disc1.iso. I think instead that someone made a change in the atapi driver that broke this. I have a Intel Desktop Motherboard VC820 that this exact thing happened to. In my case, I fortunately was running a Hipoint RAID card in it so the only thing that got wacked was the system now does not recognize that there is a CDROM on the secondary onboard IDE controller. Last week I had it running FreeBSD 4.11 just fine. (not on the RAID controller) I had assumed that using the RAID controller made it so that the onboard ATAPI controller had some problem, but after seeing this post it is clear that they broke the driver. DO you want to file a PR or should I?

ORG Cc: stable@freebsd.org Subject: RE: 5.4 install disc1 will not find hard drive Ted. I filed a PR on the missing miniinst.iso file. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=80861 And it's not been addressed yet. So if you have some pull in getting PR's worked on then you should file the PR on this problem. As I see this, it's a show stopper in distributing 5.4 stable and needs to be addressed immediately because all the mirror FTP sites are populated with non-functional disc1 iso files. Here are some more details from the boot of disc1. The btx loader issues this messages bios drive C: is disk1 and near the end of the boot messages I get ata1-master: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin ata1-master; setting pio4 on VIA 82C596B chip Please send me the PR number after you report this so I can track it. Thanks
