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....
