>Description:
Up to release 4.1 I could always boot FreeBSD install media without
problems. As of 4.2R the boot from install CD and various 4.2 versions
of floppies all fail during the hardware check (after ppc0 - if ppc
is disabled, it fails after sio and so on). This has been tried on
more than one machine, hardware-wise different from each other.
The same happens with the 4.2BETA floppies.
>How-To-Repeat:
install from media, rather than upgrade from older release
