If I boot via CD-ROM, on sone machines with a Intel PIII sysinstall

A fix is to disable the first level cache int the bios of the machine

 Include a more detailed description of the hardware being used in this
 system, such as motherboard, CPU, CD-ROM drive, etc., then the problem
 itself can be pinpointed to a certain item (or function in the kernel).

 I found this problem on two computers
 
 1. PC
 	Processor:	Intel PIII 550MHz/256KB Cache
 	Motherboard:	AOpen AX6BC
 	Memory:		128 MB
 
 2. PC
 	Processor:	Intel PIII 500MHz/156KB Cache
 	Motherboard:	Gigabyte GA-6BXC
 	Memory:		256 MB
 
 If I boot from the CD-ROM sysinstall starts and hangs while
 probing
 the devices. The last message on the debug screen was like "Found
 a network device lp0".
 
 I could reproduce this problem with the following CD-ROMs:
 
 FreeBSD 4.0 Snapshot June 1999
 FreeBSD 3.3 Release with 4 CD-ROMs bought via SuSE Germany
 FreeBSD 4.0 Release
 
 The Problem didn't occurs with a recorded 4.0 ISO-Image from
 ftp.freebsd.org.
 
 Since I changed the processor on PC 2 to a Intel PIII
 550MHz/256KB Cache the problem also didn't occurs.
 
 Bye,
 
 Oliver
