I have tried the solution you mentioned without any = luck using fresh disks and new 5.2.1 iso’s from ftp5,ftp6 and ftp13.freebsd.net.

I have spent many years using FreeBSD and = successfully deploying it on a variety of platforms and have tried just about every = possible solution using various boot options without any = success.

I would like to note that a colleague of mine had a = similar problem with the a Toshiba p20 and that the solution mentioned by = Gary worked for him with limited success.

He was able to install FreeBSD but after 5 successful subsequent boots the same problem occurred and even adding =

set =
 hw.pci.allow_unsupportable_io_range=3D"1"

to a boot config didn’t help.

(message should have read as follow)

On = subsequent attempts to = boot off the disks afterwards he managed to achieve a successful boot to = the installer on 1 out of every 5 tries

Very Odd no ?

I’m at a loss myself .

If it’s any consolation all versions of sunOS = from 5.6 to current fail due to problems with the Toshiba cardbus as = well.

So at this point it’s fair to say this Bug = still exists and still has not been fixed, nor is there an effective = workaround.

Sincerely Joshua Harris
