Cannot start Freebsd 8.0 reboots at install

Hi I have downloaded 8.0 netinstall and disc1
Both get so far through the startup and reboot.
It ends with the following
Code: 
acd1 Failure-READ_BIG illegal request asc=0x64ascq=0x00
manual root file system specification <fstype>:<device>
mount <device> using file <fstype>
eg ufss:/dev/da01a
eg c9660:/dev/acd0
this is equivalent to :mount -t c9660 /dev/acd0/
? list valid disk boot devices
<empty line> abort manual input
mount root
panic root mount failed startup aborted
cpuid0
uptime 6m 40s
cannot dump device not defined or unavailable
automatic reboot etc
any help would be appreciated

Are you using a SATA optical drive? There seems to be some kind of connection since some people have encountered the issue as well. I think some solutions were proposed on the other threads.
 
I have SATA - no problems. Something similar I had when played with "live usb". The reboot happends after pressing Enter (means empty line as it says). What if instead of Enter try to enter as proposed: c9660:/dev/acd0 and then press Enter?

PS. Just realized: ufss:/dev/da01a - wrong, should be: ufs:/dev/da0s1a
Are you using usb stick? Then try to type this correct command and press Enter.
You could also type ? and press Enter to review all valid boot devices as proposed and then try them.
