I recently tried to install the FreeBSD 8 onto my macmini but I don't even
make it into sysinstall.  I burned the disc1.iso from the freebsd mirror of
my choice.

It continues to loop with the following errors:

ad0: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing

I don't know where to go from here.  I've checked the forums and the mailing
list archives.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  All hardware is
stock for the first mac mini model.

Thanks,

Mikel
