The following reply was made to PR kern/85257; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce M Simpson <bms@incunabulum.net> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/85257: [boot] BTX boot loader fails on USB CDROM (HP DL145 Opteron) Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 15:54:38 +0100 I can reproduce this with 6.1-RELEASE CDs on an Itox Expanding Dragon 1U with an external USB DVD+-RW drive. John Baldwin speculates it is due to the redirected BIOS interrupt routines which use USB needing to be called in real mode, not vm86 mode. There is no quick and easy fix for this, but if I get around to it I will try to hack btx.
