>Description:
When attempting to install 5.4 or 6.0 Beta 4, the system hangs after displaying the entry for acd0.
Background:
I have a 300MHz PII Gateway that was resurrected with new memory (128MB) and an additional Maxtor 60GB IDE hard disk to run FBSD about a year and a half ago. At the time, when I tried to install an early 5.x release (I don't recall which) it failed. I tried 4.10, and it did the same thing, but I managed to install 4.9 and have run that ever since. booting from the original Maxtor 4.7GB (configured as the master) IDE drive with most storage on the newer drive that I added. There has not been a system problem that I am aware of until now. This week, the added (60GB) drive started sending out error messages, and fsck just cycled through hours of fixes and told me to run itself again when it completed.

I've purchased a new 80GB hard disk and decided to try to install 5.4 again. I installed the new disk in place of the original 4.7GB drive with the dying drive left as a slave in the hopes that I might be able to retrieve something from it. When I boot from the 5.4 ISO image, the systems messages scroll through until the devices are recognized. The last three lines listed are:

ad0: 78533MB <HDS728080PLAT20/PF20A2B> [159560/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
ad1: 58644MB <Maxtor 6Y060l0/YAR41BW0> [119150/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33
acd0: <TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1102/1426> at ata1-master P104

At that point, it hangs and I see no activity at all. I've tried the Boot FreeBSD (default), Boot FreeBSD with ACPI disabled options., and Boot FreeBSD in Safe Mode options, but all have the same results.

May or may not apply:
      This machine has an AMI BIOS (0AAKW040) Copyright Gateway 2000 1997. The Motherboard has a built-in graphics adapter put out by a company called mpact, which was acquired a few times and eventually retired by ATI. Rather than cope with that, I installed a PNY Technologies NVidia GeForce MX4000 which worked fine with 4.9. One interesting note is that XFree86 "redetected" the original adapter and I had to disable that in the configuration.

      Boot from a 5.4 or 6.0 ISO disk.

 I have now tried 6 beta 4, 5.4, 4.11, 4.10, and 4.9. I can install 4.9 
 from CD and boot from the hard drive after it is complete. There are no 
 messages in the log after the acd0: line. 4.10 and 4.11 allow me to do a 
 full installation, but the system hangs after the acd0: message in both 
 cases when I attempt a subsequent boot from the hard disk. 5.4 and 6 
 beta 4 will not move past that point in the installation. Based on 
 appearances, whatever change was made to the boot sequence written to 
 the hard disk starting with version 10, without changing the sequence on 
 the installer, then moved to the installer when 5 was released and 
 presumably included in 6.

 I have exactly the same behavior on different hardware.  4.9 runs fine;
 5.4-RELEASE, 6.0-BETA1, 6.0-BETA5 all hang on boot immediately following
 the acd0 line.

 It's been several months, and nobody seems to have an interest in this. 
 It's beyond my abilities to work on or debug. I've got a machine here 
 that I cannot update. Much of what I had built before a crash cannot be 
 rebuilt as far as I can tell because the 4.9 modules are no longer 
 online. I think I supplied enough information to indicate that this was 
 a problem that was introduced into the installation process at 4.10, and 
 then added to the boot process at 5, and continues with 6. I would think 
 that it indicates a serious issue, so I don't understand why I cannot 
 get a response or at least a suggested workaround.

State-Changed-Why:  
Requested feedback from the submitter. Asked him to 
boot the system (or cd) without ACPI enabled. 
I remember several occations where this was the 
issue. And if not, we might see different results when 
booting this way etc.

 This response was sent back in December, but never added to the report:
 
 I don't get to the point of selecting any of the options on the BootCD. 
 It appears that something was changed in the detection process effective 
 with 4.10 that was then carried into the Boot disk with 5 and later. I 
 can't get any further than watching it get to detection of the CD. After 
 that, everything hangs. Someone suggested recompiling, but the machine 
 in question is a 300 MHz Pentium. From what I gather, it would take a 
 VERY  long time before I would even learn if it worked.
