Same problems for me with atapi CD/DVD drives (READ_BIG timeouts,

performances are very poor.

I got the same exact errors trying to install 7.0-RELEASE on two
different Dell boxes. One was 4 years old, the other was brand new (3
months ago).
Never was able to fix the problem. For the older one, I plugged in an
external DVD drive and installed via that. For the other one, I
installed via a mini-install disk, and then did a minimal network
install.
For the record, they both had SATA drives and the disks worked (and
still work) fine after the OS was installed. It was just copying the
base system off the CD that was causing errors.

Aloha,
I am getting the same errors as you guys with an intermittient BIG_read
one occasionally. I've tried to install FreeeBSD CURRENT 8 and 7 release.
This is on a no name box with a bio board and 1100 cpu. I've had this on
other boxes too and load IDE drives on a box that works with them and
then put them in the box with errors and they work just fine.
Every thing gets recognized normally at install time, but the size of
the IDE drive a Fujutsu 20 gig. shows twice what it should be every time.
Dont know if this has anything to do with it, except if you change the
size in installer it wont load anything.
Maybe one of the top level gurus on the list can help.
Aloha,
The suggestion to put the folloeing worked to clear my DMA error.
In: /boot/loader
Put: hw.ata.ata_dma=0 #disable IDE DMA
This allowed an uninterrupted boot.
Thanks for the suggestion.
