I decided to test the 5.0 ISO today. It turned out bad. I have a dual PIII 800MHz with an Advansys SCSI controller with two Plextor CD drives. The reader drive is device 0,6,0 and the writer drive is device 0,4,0. I can boot the CD from the reader drive but when it gets to the part where it's going to load the kernel I get an error saying the kernel could not be found. I decided to create a floppy instead. I used the floppy images from the CD and created kern and mfsroot. I booted and went to the configuration part. After the partitioning I was asked if where I wanted to install from. I went for FTP via firewall and tried to get an IPv6 address from my router - no luck. The router works and I when I use freebsd current on my other disk there are no problems with IPv6. So I went on with normal IPv4. After saying yes to the fact that I 'really' wanted to go on the installer tries to create the filesystem. Somehow it decides to look for device '/dev/X' and fails. After this I rebooted... The motherboard is an Asus P2B-D and the disk is a Seagate IV 80GB IDE. Motherboard BIOS revision is 1013. I hope this helps those creating the ISO's.
