Seriously, did you check the md5? You really need to clear all the basics before whining around here. Like someone said, if install45.iso wasn't bootable in general it would have been fixed by now; if it isn't bootable on your particular machine that's a different issue, and you should post the machine's specs, possibly a dmesg (get one from FreeBSD?).
