So far this is not a problem ticket in my understanding because there is
no problem (Yet). I understand though that it's darned hard to install
something if acd0 fails (But that could still be due too many things to
call this someting a problem within FreeBSD, its ofcourse not ruled out
but lets proceed):
Can you try to install this from a FTP server instead? so bootup with the
disks provided, and then continue installation through the web? That will
get the required packages from the internet (Ftp.freebsd.org for example,
or rather advised is: ftp.countrycode.freebsd.org which would be
ftp.nl.freebsd.org if I where to use this). It will then install them, and
probably bootup the system, if acd0 isn't recognized there we can continue
trying to find why it isn't recognized etc. (Perhaps USB CD drive? There
were changes to that code recently; but from memory; That didnt reach
7.0/6.3-RELEASE, not sure about the 7.0 part though).
If you have follow-up information, please reply-all to this message (make
sure freebsd-gnats-submit at freebsd.org is in the CC list) so that it can be
properly recorded within the ticket.
Thanks,
remko
