9.0-CURRENT powerpc snapshot 201102 can't boot cd

[agranner]

I'm trying to update my working 8.2 to 9.0 because I've been unsuccesful with AGP.

Booting from the CD...

OK set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
OK boot -v

...freezes during probing at:

ata1: Identifying devices: 00030000
ata1: New devices: 00030000
GEOM: new disk ad0
ata-slave: pio=PIO3 wdma=WDMA1 wdma=UDMA33 cable=40 wire

Besides general advice, I'm curious about two things:

1.) This was a replacement drive and worked fine with OS X but this machine should be using UDMA66 ("Ultra ATA/66"). Did I buy the wrong kind of drive?

2.)

ata-slave

? At one point there were two drives. Does this suggest that my jumpers are wrong?

Thanks for reading.

Try this.
[CMD=]boot -s[/CMD]
If that will not help try a normal USB keyboard.

Is there an optical drive in the machine? If so, try to disable DMA for it, like this:

OK  set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0

then use

boot -v

Hope this helps.
