Problem booting AMD Athlon XP 2200+ from CDROM

[Matthew Dillon]

:Will that same CD boot on another machine?  If yes, then you might try using
:an older install CD to see if that particular machine will like it any better.
:
:Anything unusual about the partition table on that machine?

:I tried a 12/22/04 stable iso, and also a 10/9/04 iso.  Both got the same result.
:
:I *think* I might have installed FreeBSD in 'dangerously dedicated' mode.  Could that be
:it?

    Try physically disconnecting the hard drive, revert the BIOS to its normal
    mode of operation, and then see if the CD will boot.
