If you install using safe mode it will work. Then in /boot/loader.conf #boot/loader.conf hw.ata.ata-dma=0 hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 This makes the HD and CD to work for me after the install. The error that comes up when you burn a CD seems to be bogus as I have used the CD's with out error for installing on other boxes. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
