I don't think there is anything wrong with the build process of
disc1.iso. I think instead that someone made a change in the atapi
driver that broke this.
I have a Intel Desktop Motherboard VC820 that this exact thing
happened
to. In my case, I fortunately was running a Hipoint RAID card in it
so
the only thing that got wacked was the system now does not recognize
that there is a CDROM on the secondary onboard IDE controller. Last
week I had it running FreeBSD 4.11 just fine. (not on the RAID
controller)
I had assumed that using the RAID controller made it so that the
onboard
ATAPI controller had some problem, but after seeing this post it is
clear
that they broke the driver.
DO you want to file a PR or should I?
Ted

Ted.
I filed a PR on the missing miniinst.iso file.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=80861
And it's not been addressed yet. So if you have some pull
in getting PR's worked on then you should file the PR on this
problem.
As I see this, it's a show stopper in distributing 5.4 stable and
needs
to be addressed immediately because all the mirror FTP sites are
populated with non-functional disc1 iso files.
Here are some more details from the boot of disc1.
The btx loader issues this messages
bios drive C: is disk1
and near the end of the boot messages I get
ata1-master: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin
ata1-master; setting pio4 on VIA 82C596B chip
Please send me the PR number after you report this so I can track
it.
Thanks
