I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.3 in a laptop which I just recently bought. 
Problem is that the installation CD wouldn't boot. I have tried burning 
several brands of disks and trying them in other computers and I am now sure 
is not the media. I even disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS and nothing. 
Anyone can offer some advise about what to do?

Teilhard.
