Hi,

I donwloaded FreeBSD R7.1 64b and 32b. Tried to install to my server through KVM. It failed to install with the following Message:

Code: 
Error mounting /dev/cd0 on /dist: Input/output error (5)

Any idea how to fix the error? I a installing on a SuperMicro server.

Thanks,

Try burn a fresh copy of the disc. Also make sure the ISO file is not corrupt by checking the MD5 checksums against those on the server.
 
If you have more then one cd drive in that machine make sure you select the correct one.
 
I have 2 CD and selected the right one. On the installation screen it ask CD/DVD and when you select this method will show that it sees two CD0 and CD1. I selected CD0 and founded the image correctly.

It still fail when it statrt to install with the same error.
 
You could try using another disc and/or the other drive. It might just be that the cd you burned has defects which the drive cannot correct.
