I'm trying to install FreeBSD BETA #6 onto my computer but the burned = ISO won't boot. The boot is stalling just after detecting my CD-RW = drive. I'm not sure if it's with the CD-RW detecting or with mounting = the root file system. I also had the same problem when I CVSUPed my = system from 5.2.1 to 5.3 BETA #5 along with the BETA #5 ISO. =20 I did not have a problem booting with 6.0-CURRENT as of a few days ago = (it's what I'm running now). I went to 6.0-CURRENT when Scot Hetzel = suggested it may be an ATA driver in a post here: = http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D1432335+0+/usr/local/www/db= /text/2004/freebsd-current/20040905.freebsd-current =20 I'm not sure if this is still an ATA driver issue with the 5.3 BETA = releases but I'd really like to run 5.3 when it becomes stable. I'd = also like to wipe the drive and try a fresh install from ISO so what can = I do? =20 Thanks for any help, =20 Ben
