I don't replace parts that work fine, so yeah, they're carried over from
an old system. I wasn't whining about it having hiccups, merely asking
if it was the SCSI that was the problem, or if I need to look at
something else. I'm not used at the SCSI drives causing installation
issues, only crap
to fix your own problems.
The source code is available, use it.

the cd. it could be that the bios sees the cdrom and boots to it, but the
kernel on the cd doesn't support your card, in which case it wouldn't see
anything on the cd. if the card isn't supported, compile a kernel with

Probably should've said that I have no problems booting from all other
bootCDs I've tried... even windows manages to do it (which in itself is
amazing since it dislikes SCSI greatly). I never had any problems with
Linux, FreeBSD on the other hand seems to be a bit more nitpicking...
which isn't
I believe it is more incompatibilities with older BIOS and SCSI BIOS,
etc. I have an older MB that won't boot the SCSI CD. This is really
problematic as the system will boot the floppies, but cannot after booting,
find the boot device. I have to mount the cd and update from the mounted
cd.
I've got SCSI Plextor CD-drives in my computer (AMD Athlon XP-based),
and ATA harddrives. When I try to install FreeBSD 6.0 booting from the
CDs, it stops with "Error, unable to load kernel". I tried first with
