I found that - it appears to be a different problem because.... > I would question 1) the burning software you used, and 2) the physical > media you used. Also try burning the ISO to another disc (even if of ....I am not burning a CD or using any physical media. I am booting directly off the image file using iLO. Hence the stuff in that thread doesnt apply. It's defintely 8 specific - I can boot an mage from 7 it works fine, but 8 doesn't. I think this is to do with USB now - the machine has a physical drive as well (acd0) - is it possible that the installer sees that, but not the USB connected drive ? So it tries that drive instead, which would produce the error message in question, just as if there was corrupt physical media [Indeed, the physical drive may well contain an Audio CD - I have no idea what the guys in the data centre might have put in it] I can't really do this physically - I'm in London and the server is somewhere in Louisiana, USA. Makes it hard to diagnose things. -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
