I've tried both disc1 (shown) and bootonly. I've confirmed the SHA256
checksums on the downloaded images and I burned them using burncd on a
FreeBSD -current i386 box.

My older 6.0-beta5 CD boots fine (though as an older thread will show
actually doesn't noot *correctly* on 2100A machines, but that's a whole
other issue).

Is this a known issue? Does that ISO image work for other folks?
