Hi Al,
thanks for pointing me to safe mode install. That I will probably try
tomorrow.
The day ended up in havoc: I tried to boot a floppy to do an ASUS BIOS
upgrade and somehow messed with the power cable.
A big flash occurred originating from the power supply. I opened the
power supply, found a blown fuse, ran to the electronics store, bought a
new fuse (+ one in reserve), inserted the fuse, tried the power supply,
with connections off and a firework, prematurely - your presidential
elections aren't finished yet - , developed in front of my face. Will
continue tomorrow, when America has a new president.

Hi,
don't know whether it's the CDROM drive (a Creative 52x mx) or the
motherboard (ASUS P4S8X) or what.
Anyway, I tried to install a recent version of FreeBSD (7.1-BETA2)
and the installation
hangs right in the boot process of the installation CD disc1.
I see
acd0: FAILURE - READ BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x00
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for
xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 120 seconds for
xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 180 seconds for
xpt_config
and so on.
Any clues?

Aloha,
I have had similiar happen on 7 and 8 Freebsd installs recently.
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.
