Chances are - you burned the iso file to the rom and not burned using the ISO. I would check what your doing when you burn.

Best regards,

hello,

  i am having problems installing 5.3 on my laptop. it is an hp
  pavillion ze5700. i am currently using windows xp home, and have
  downloaded the 5.3 release disk1 iso image to my hard drive. i have
  tried putting it on several cd's to boot from and have successfully
  made all of them (to the best of my knowlege). when i boot up though i
  get nothing but a blinking cursor . although on the disk that i made
  as a hardrive emulation i get a message that says "no operating system
  installed".

  as a note, i have a comercial disk that has 5.0 on it and it boots,
  but dosnt make it to the sysinstall menu.

  if you want more info on the 5.0 boot messages i will try to get them
  for you.

  i heard a rumor that you are located in bolder colorado and since i am
  in colorado springs i can drive up if nessasary to get my macine
  running.

  it is my intrest to learn freebsd well enugh to start contributing in
  anyway i can.

  thanks for your time,

  issac lander
