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 ad0: 19092MB [38792/16/63] at ata0-masster UDMA100 ata1-master: FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY status=7f error=7f 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... $ dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
