is youre SCSI disk the only one or do you have also a IDE? If so, go to
your BIOS and remove it while running FreeBSD, or type at the startup
boot: sd(0,a)/kernel
check /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.[asci,htm]:
2. Installing FreeBSD
[...]
4. With the installation disk in the A: drive, reboot your computer.
You should get a boot prompt something like this:
>> FreeBSD BOOT ...
Usage: [[[0:][wd](0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdhrsv]
Use 1:sd(0,a)kernel to boot sd0 if it is BIOS drive 1
Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults
Boot:
If you do not type anything, FreeBSD will automatically boot with its
default configuration after a delay of about five seconds. As FreeBSD
boots, it probes your computer to determine what hardware is installed.
The results of this probing is displayed on the screen.
