 Hi,
 
 I want to ask which iso image i have to download from this link:
 
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/6.2/
 
 that will install FreeBSD from CD ROM direclty because there are bootonly
 iso, disc1 and disc2 iso's as well. So which iso i have to download and then
 i only need to burn that iso on CD and i can start installation and no other
 extra thing i have to do. Any suggestion?

Depends on just what you need to do.
But, in general, burn disc-1.You can install from that including some
of the more common ports or use that CD to install over the net.  DIsc-1 also
has the fixit shell.

You need disc-2 only if you want to install ports that are not on disc-1.  
The boot-only disc will allow you to install only over the net.

That depends on what you want to do.  If all you want to do is install the 
minimal install of FreeBSD, then disc1 will do the job.  If you want to 
install extra stuff (like X, bash, sudo, etc.) you will probably need 
disc2 as well.  Or you can use disc1 to install FreeBSD minimal, then run 
sysinstall afterwards and get everything else you need directly off the 
internet.

 I am trying to install the FreeBSD 4.8 Release on a i386 m/c.
 I have burnt the iso images onto a CD.
 
 My problem
 The m/c boots uncompressing the kernel and takes me thru the
 menu. While choosing the installation Media I get the message
 No CD/DVD devices found
 
 while searching on the web I found one mail which mentioned problems
 with FreeBSD and ATA, ATAPI.
 The workaround provided was where in has to
 set hw.ata.ata_dma=1
 set hw.ata.atapi_dma=1
 
 but  still I could not choose the CD as the installation media?
 
 Need help in getting around this problem

4.9 will probably work better for you.
