Description George Kontostanos 2011-10-30 00:50:05 UTC

When trying to boot from a mounted a virtual CD from supermicro IPMI the system begins an infinite loop. Installation can not be performed.

Also mounting a virtual CD from supermicro IPMI causes the following messages:

How-To-Repeat: Two ways:

1)Try to boot from a FreeBSD9-RC1 installation CD through IPMI

2)Attach a virtual ISO to a running FreeBSD9-RC1

Comment 1 George Kontostanos 2012-01-29 23:26:43 UTC

I am facing the same issues whenever I try to install FreeBSD
9.0-RELEASE from an external USB DRIVE.

The only way for to boot is to specify cd9660:/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL

Comment 2 Rob Lampe 2013-03-01 16:21:52 UTC

FYI, I did notice this problem with 9.0 but I have tested mounting
9.1-RELEASE isos over supermicro IPMI and it works fine.

Please let me know if I can provide more information about this.

Hi Rob,

It appears that the problem has been solved also for me.

Thanks

I can confirm this still is an issue with 10.0-RELEASE isos (and with 9.2-RELEASE).

The workaround is to wait, and wait until the virtual CD is detected, and then enter this (as mentioned previously):
cd9660:/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL

Do not press enter to get an empty prompt, because this will reset the machine. This is mentioned on the console, but this BOFH hasn't very good memory ;-)

It isn't a big problem, because of the workaround, but it took me while before I found out about the workaround.

^Triage: with all the changes since FreeBSD 9.0-RC1, this PR is surely OBE.
