David, You are definately on to something with the IDE channels. I have PFsense running just fine on my production box (Compaq) but I have been having a heck of a time getting it installed on a particular test machine (white box). I then started playing with FreeBSD, PC-BSD and DesktopBSD and none of them would install on my machine so I figured it was my box and left it alone for a while. Now that you mentioned it the CD is on the secondary IDE channel and the HD is on the primary channel. I'm gonna play tonight and see. I'll keep the list updated. Many people I know that build PC's always set the HD's on the primary channel and the CD' on the secondary. might be a common thing
