Hi,

I am trying to install 8.1 from the DVD ISO download into a Hyper-V
virtual machine.  Whilst the DVD boots and I can traverse the menus
(configure the disk, select the ports etc), the actual installation
is failing with a "device not defined or unavailable" error.  The system
then reboots automatically.

Booting the disc into the non-ACPI mode seems to get a bit further but
then the installer gets to a stage where it appears unable to write data
to the disk.

Cheers,
Tim.

 FreeBSD 8.1 and 8.2 currently appear to install and run fine on Hyper-V with
 VHDs smaller than 32GB in size,
 
 I suspect the bug has to do with memory handling for the virtual hardware
 considering segfaults and bus errors occur during setup
 
 This probably applies to David's bug report @
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/153496 as well.

 Pardon me, I meant 30GB in size

 Is it possible that this bug and bug 153496 
 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/153496) are related in some 
 way? FreeBSD on Hyper-V R2 worked fine with 8.0-RELEASE through 
 8.0-RELEASE-p5, so there appears to have been a breaking change between the 
 8.0 and 8.1 releases.
 
 As per 153496, I have an environment available for debugging or execution of 
 test/debug cases if someone can tell me what needs to be done (e.g. point me 
 at the documentation).
