This is a listing of my hardware, I probably should have listed it in my earlier post.

Motherboard: A7N8X-E Deluxe
socket A (462)
Chipset: Northbridge: NVIDIA nforce2 spp ultra400
Southbrdige nvidia nforce2 MCP-T

memory ddr 184pin (maximum of 3x184)
I have kingston kvr400x64c3ak 512mb pc3200 (two pieces)  ram installed...

on board audio: mcp-t southbridge + realtec alc50 6channel audio codec

internal
connectors: usb2 connectors, games/midi, 2 ide, 20pin atx power, 2
sata, 2 1394, 5 pci, 1 asus propriety wi-fi slot and a couple others.

Hard drive is a Western Digital WD2000jb ide caviar 200GB

(jumper cap is on cable select at the moment.
However there are five rows of pins, three are cable select, master and secondary, no idea what the other two are)

From
what I remember seeing fly by on the screen last night the majority of
the motherboard parts were detected including the rear panel connectors
which I did not list (if you want me to list those, let me know).

Hope this helps.
Thanks
Tom

Hi people,

Hi people,
I am Tom and I have been attempting to install FreeBSD 7.0 from a dvd.
I put the dvd in the drive and boot, the boot screen appears with the options default, acpi disabled, safe mode, etc, I then select default.
The hardware probing/detecting scrolls by and then comes to a halt with the following line:

GEOM_LABLE: Lable for provider acd0 is is09660/FreeBSD 7.

I have also on other boot attempts tried acpi disabled, safe mode with the same outcome.
Have selected single user on another attempt and sysinstall program boots, after going through setting up the hard drive and paritions durring the install of the os the following error occurs numerous times:

Write failure on transfer!
(write 0 bytes of 1425408 bytes) 100%

Just wondering if this has occured to any one else and how they got around it.
Look forward to replys, thanks

Tom
