FreeBSD 9.1 fails to boot from CD on Notebook

[Martin Siebel]

Hey,

after failing to get FreeBSD working with my ASUS F70SL Notebook I tried 
to get it to work on [I][COLOR=Blue]Toshiba Tecra A10-M14[/COLOR][/I].


I downloaded the [FILE]FreeBSD-9.1-REALEASE-disc1.iso[/FILE] from the 
official FreeBSD homepage and burnt it with [I][COLOR=Blue]Ashampoo 
Burning Studio 2013[/COLOR][/I].


Now, if I select Boot from CD-ROM in my notebooks BIOS it detects the 
CD, starts to boot from, it but only for about 1 second. After this the 
screen blackens, the notebook reboots and boots normally from HDD (even 
tough I still have the CD inserted and the CD-ROM drive is still the 
first boot device).


This happens that fast I don't even have a chance to get a picture of 
the error that might occur.


Any ideas about BIOS settings I may change?

I burnt the CD twice by the way, with different burning software, to 
avoid damaged or incomplete disc.


Thanks in advance!

FreeBSD on Asus F70SL

[Martin Siebel]

Hello!

I recently tried (and failed) installing FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE on my Asus 
F70SL Notebook.
I already created a thread in the official FreeBSD boards but so far no 
one could help me out with my problem. Since I really want to use 
FreeBSD with my Notebook I am looking forward to get the neccessary 
information here.


The topic in the FreeBSD boards can be found here:

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Martin
