I downloaded the 2 meg boot floppy for installing FreeBSD 5.2.1.  I  
wanted to burn it to a CD (I usually install via ftp, and use a smaller  
CD that I have here to transport the media since I didn't want to burn  
a full ISO).

I downloaded the boot image and checked the MD5.

On my iBook, I ran
mkisofs -pad -b boot.flp -R -o ./cdboot.iso ./boot.flp

I then used the disk utility to burn the resulting image.

I have used this technique with 4.9, and it worked.  On a machine i  
wanted to install 5.2.1 on, it won't (this is a machine the 4.9 install  
worked on fine).  The boot process starts, and it locks up ending with  
this in the bootup sequence:
GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc2006560

ata1-master: FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY status=7f <READY, DMA_READY, DSC,  
DRQ, CORRECTABLE, INDEX_ERROR> error=7f<UNCORRECTABLE, MEDIA_CHANGED,  
NID_NOT_FOUND, MEDIA_CHANGE_REQUEST, ABORTED,NO_MEDIA,ILLEGAL_LENGTH>  
LBA=0

It doesn't like the CDROM drive?  Did I miss something in the boot disc  
creation?  There may be a minor typo or two in the above error...I had  
to transcribe it :-)

Here's what 4.9 is reporting post-bootup...
