I put in my PC-BSD 9.0 x64 (which is supposed to be based on FreeBSD) install DVD disk and booted my computer and it hangs (a progress spinner just keeps spinning and spinning ...) with the following message on the screen:
More info:
I tried three different DVDs (one FreeBSD and two PC-BSD) and I get the same problem with each. I also tried booting off of two different DVD drives (moved one over from another computer temporarily). I installed Linux on this computer last week and I was able to use the Linux install DVD; it's just the *BSD DVD that is giving me problems. I disconnected my Linux hard drive before attempting the *BSD installs. The only drives connected to my motherboard are the DVD drive and the never-before-used SSD which I am attempting to install *BSD on.
Could be a problem with a BIOS setting, IDE or SATA? Maybe I changed something. My motherboard has no IDE ports but the BIOS allows me to configure some ports as either SATA or IDE (which seems strange to me). What should I use IDE or SATA for the DVD drive?
Or is it something else?
