>Description:
An IBM HS20 (only Modell 8832) does not boot from CD with BIOS > 1.02
(e.g. 1.12, latest). The CD starts, it tries to load the kernel and the
"\ | / -" sequence rotates *very* slow. After about 5 minutes it says it
can't boot and displays the boot prompt.

When you install FreeBSD on a Blade with BIOS <= 1.02 and then switch hard
disks FreeBSD boots and runs fine, only the initial installation from CD fails.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot from Installation CD (tried with 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 7.0RC2).
>Fix:
Downgrade BIOS to 1.02 (tested, might be later, too, but with 1.12 it fails).
