I put the dvd in the drive and boot, the boot screen appears with the optio= ns default, acpi disabled, safe mode, etc, I then select default. The hardware probing/detecting scrolls by and then comes to a halt with the= following line: GEOM_LABLE: Lable for provider acd0 is is09660/FreeBSD 7. I have also on other boot attempts tried acpi disabled, safe mode with the = same outcome. Have selected single user on another attempt and sysinstall program boots, = after going through setting up the hard drive and paritions durring the ins= tall of the os the following error occurs numerous times: Write failure on transfer! (write 0 bytes of 1425408 bytes) 100% Just wondering if this has occured to any one else and how they got around = it.
