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
