VirtualBox 3.2.6 FreeBSD host/guest acd0: error issuing ATA PACKET command

[Laktionov Stanislav]

Hi!
Trying to install i386 FreeBSD-8.0 as guest-OS, I've got some trouble, which nature is magical for me.
My host operational environment:

plain at vw-freebsd $ uname -a

When I'm starting VirtualBox via `VBoxSDL --startvm FBSD_test`, booting from CD, everything seems to be ok, until initializing ATA-devices. Here is part of console output:

md0: Preloaded image </boot/mfsroot> 4423680 bytes at 0xc0f6dfe0
ad0: 1536MB <VBOX HARDDISK 1.0> at ata0-master UDMA33

acd0: timeout waiting to issue command
acd0: error issuing ATA PACKET command
... repeats last 2 lines few times ...
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0

Then sysinstall is started, but after "Commit" and writing filesystems I got message:
Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Input/output error (5)

When changing CD-ROM device to another ata-channel (e.g. ata0-slave), disks after CD-ROM in sequence does not appear in dmesg at all (e.g. no ad2, ad3).
Executing 'set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0' in loader prompt also have no effect except UDMA33 changes to PIO4 for CD-ROM.

Can you please give any suggestions, why such a behavior can occur?

Thanks for your attention!
