I've tested to boot from another bootable CDROM (OpenBSD, Linux RedHat :-(, and it works well with no problem, but when I try to boot from FreeBSD CDROM appears the post state 7F and stops booting, keyboard works but booting doesn't continue and I must reboot and retry with the floppies. I (supposely) assume the problem is located at the BIOS, not in FreeBSD itself, BIOS cannot launch 2.88Mb CDROM boot images but I would like a workaround or similar. Thanks in advance.
