I downloaded FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-disc1.iso

and burned the image to CD. However the CD does not boot. Just
wanted to confirm that it is supposed to be bootable.
Also, is there a DVD version? I don't have many CDs around my house
but plenty of DVDs. :)
Hi Drew, and welcome to FreeBSD.
How did you 'burn' the disc? As an iso image (in Windows) you can open
any burning program and tell it to burn it as is; you don't need to
extract any contents. This is the usual problem if it won't boot.
Alternatively, you can try making an installer on a usb disk. I'd
recommend at least a 2Gb stick, preferably 4G. See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html
section 3.3.5.
