>Description:
I have created a pxe bootable disk image of the freebsd boot only install cd.
I am able to install freebsd on all of my systems, with the exception of
my IBM Blade Servers using this method.

When attempting to install FreeBSD 7.2 on my blade systems:

I select FreeBSD 7.2 (i386) from my PXE Boot Menu.
The image is loaded.
I get the message "Welcome to FreeBSD!" followed by the menu
at this point options 1-5 will result in the error shown in the JPG I
wish I had an option to attach to this bug report so here it is typed out:

/boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=0x52730 data=0x2400+0x186c syms=[0x4+0x8660+0x4+0xb187]
loading required module 'pci'
ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory

option 6 allows me to try the various work-arounds I have found on the
internet but ultimately I get the same error.

The

>How-To-Repeat:
get an IBM Blade HS20 and try install FreeBSD 7.2
>Fix:
Install FreeBSD on another computer then move the hard drive to the IBM
Blade HS20 and turn it on. The system re-configures itself and works
fine with the Blade Server. (not really a fix but all I have to offer)

This sounds as though it could be machine-specific.
