The Acer Aspire AM3470G-UW70P comes with Windows 7 and the BIOS disk option set to RAID
A new hard drive was added for FreeBSD to use.
When booting the FreeBSD 9.1 CDROM, the system would loop over and over trying to read the CD.
About 3 lines of message would appear during each iteration:
Booting from CD-ROM...
645MB medium detected
CD Loader 1.2
And then it would reboot over and over and over and over...
This did not happen when booting an OpenBSD 5.2 CDROM nor with a Slackware 14.0 CDROM.
To fix it, the BIOS disk option was changed from: RAID to: ACHI
But before doing this I changed the Windows 7 registry....
