>Description:
Up to release 4.1 I could always boot FreeBSD install media without
problems. As of 4.2R the boot from install CD and various 4.2 versions
of floppies all fail during the hardware check (after ppc0 - if ppc
is disabled, it fails after sio and so on). This has been tried on
more than one machine, hardware-wise different from each other.
The same happens with the 4.2BETA floppies.
>How-To-Repeat:
install from media, rather than upgrade from older release
>Fix:

State-Changed-Why:  
Not sure what can be done about this, you haven't given much 
information to diagnose the problem.  Since lots of people 
successfully install from CD and floppy, it's probably 
something weird about either a) your hardware, or b) the 
particular install media you're using.
