I believe you are saying that 5.2 is currently installed on
the hard drive and you want to do a fresh install from scratch of
6.0.
You have to change the pc bios setup to boot from the cd drive
instead of from the hard drive.
The pc will then boot from the 6.0 cd and install 6.0 destroying the
5.2 system on the hard drive along with any user data you had. After
6.0 is installed you have to change the bios back to booting from
the hard drive.
Be sure you have a backup of any user data on the 5.2 system you
want saved.

Subject: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help
Hello,
may I ask you for help with the following Problem:
When I try to install FreeBsd6.0, there is the following error
during the
boot process (because the system is not able to boot from CD, I have
to boot
from floppy) occurs:
ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: SCB 6: immediate reset Flags 0x620
ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: No longer in timeout, status=25b
ahc0: Issued channel A bus reset, SCBs 6 aborted.
...
...
...
There are variants of the messages with different SCB, flags and
status.
As a result, the install program does not find any disk.
FreeBSD5.2 is running and dmesg produces the following output:
