The sequence of events above doesn't make sense. It sounds as if when
you set your media type it subsequently reboots. It shouldn't be doing
that at all.
You should redirect this question to the freebsd-questions list, as the
charter of this list prohibits the answering of technical questions.
The only way we can keep FreeBSD's reputation of stability and
robustness is to direct people with technical questions to those who
actually know the answers.
