I guess I have the same problem. I trying to install 7.2-RELEASE on server with Supermicro X8DTU-F<http://market.yandex.ru/model.xml?modelid=4633058>MB. BIOS is the newest.
Just in time I boot from CD I get such errors after detecting CPU: acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 retry left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out And boot fails. But if I eject CD from CD-ROM after FreeBSD kernel loads, all going OK. But in this way I unable to continue installation from CD, course even I insert CD during sysinstall, it cannot mount it and copy distributions to my machine. I have tried to boot through choosing "6" in loader menu and type - > set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 - > boot But it doesn't give any effect. Situation was recalled on two X8DTU-F motherboards, so it isn't hardware problem. CD-ROM is SATA, TEAC DV-28S.
