In my case re-trying the boot from cd several times would *eventually* get a working installer session. (If you search the archives you'll see several cases of folks encountering this). Unfortunately I don't know of any solution. A (tedious) workaround (in case repeated attempts always fail for you), is to install a minimal system off an earlier version of FreeBSD and run the installer off the installed system - or just src upgrade to the version you want. I found that the 4.x, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 cd's all worked fine - but 5.3 onwards and 6.x would register dump. Cheers Mark
