The ipmi implementation is limited to CD-sized media on the Supermicro
ipKVM implementations. Try the CD boot media ISO.

I can confirm that's the same on 8.0-RELEASE DVD, you can boot from it

you can't start fixit as it simply doesnt appear to find the "cd". This
was done on a supermicro with ipmi, which I believe uses the same or
similar
controller under a different name.
Virtual Media on Supermicro 6016TT-TF TwinServer works fine for me

Medium is not detected in this virtual drive. I don't know if it is
FreeBSD or iDRAC issue.
Virtual Media / Virtual Console from all vendors is paint in the a...
I have iLO card in HP ML110 G5 and Virtual Media doesn't work at all.
Virtual device is not detected by FreeBSD nor in BIOS, so I can't even
boot from it.
Virtual Media (console) on Sun Fire X2100 M2 is accessible only by IP
address, not by its domain name (I reported it to Sun Microsystems 11
month ago and Sun leaves it unfixed.
In Virtual Console of Supermicro, there is problem with keyboard input
in sysinstall prior to FreeBSD 8.x
So I am disapointed by this hyped feature ;(
