I have tried the solution you mentioned without any luck using fresh disks
and new 5.2.1 iso's from ftp5,ftp6 <ftp://ftp5,ftp6/>; and ftp13.freebsd.net
<ftp://ftp13.freebsd.net/>; .
I have spent many years using FreeBSD and successfully deploying it on a
variety of platforms and have tried just about every possible solution
using various boot options without any success.
I would like to note that a colleague of mine had a similar problem with
the a Toshiba p20 and that the solution mentioned by Gary worked for him
with limited success.
He was able to install FreeBSD but after 5 successful subsequent boots
the same problem occurred and even adding
set hw.pci.allow_unsupportable_io_range="1"
to a boot config didn't help.
(message should have read as follow)
On subsequent attempts to boot off the disks afterwards he managed to
achieve a successful boot to the installer on 1 out of every 5 tries
Very Odd no ?
I'm at a loss myself .
If it's any consolation all versions of sunOS from 5.6 to current fail
due to problems with the Toshiba cardbus as well.
So at this point it's fair to say this Bug still exists and still has
not been fixed, nor is there an effective workaround.
