 Hello,
 
 
 I managed to get access to FreeBSD 5.0 Official release and got the same 
 error message. this still occurred after doing a firmware update on the 
 dvd drive.
 I managed to borrow a Pioneer DVD-105 slotload drive and the install was 
 ok, but i am at a loss to why it is unable to recognise my pioneer 
 dvd-120 drive.
 
 Thanks Andrew

It may be that there exist a bug in the installation. You could fetch
the two boot files from the ftp (ftp.freebsd.org) site. I think the
manual (www.freebsd.org/handbook) has this coverd in the installation
section.

Looks like a problem reading the DVD, perhaps it did not burn
properly.
