I can't boot on cdrom sata, this problem doesn't exist in older releases.

My motherboard is
Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2

On FreeBSD 7.1 my cdrom drive is detected this way:
acd0: DVDR <HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GH22NS30/1.01> at ata3-master SATA150

Just checking - is *everything* the same? For example is the media the
same? Depending on a variety of things I've had issues with rewritable
media versus write-once media, etc.

The machine I test the release builds on before uploading them has a
Gigabyte motherboard (G31M-ES2L) with a sata drive in it so it's not a
generic "sata doesn't work" issue:

acd0: DVDROM <Optiarc DVD-ROM DDU1675S/1.10> at ata0-slave SATA150

If none of that helps we'd need more information about how far it gets
before it stops.
I can say there is a problem to boot with cdrom since 7.2-BETA1.

All system is same, all older version can boot in this machine: 6.1, 6.2, ...,7.1, etc. amd64 or i386.

I've burnt 03 media to test 7.2-RC2, one cd-rw burnt with cdrecord and two cd-r burnt first with burncd and last was burnt with cdrecord.

What I can do to help this release?


We need more information about how far it gets before it stops. Does it
seem like it attempts the boot off the CD at all or does it just fall
through to booting off the hard drive?

It try boot from cdrom and after a little time it boots from next device.

If it does attempt to boot off
the CD does it lock up with no messages? If there are messages what are
the last few things it says?


It doesn't print any message and after that short time BIOS try next device from boot order.
