 I have tried the solution you mentioned without any luck using fresh =
 disks
 and new 5.2.1 iso's from ftp5,ftp6 <ftp://ftp5,ftp6/>  and =
 ftp13.freebsd.net
 <ftp://ftp13.freebsd.net/> .
 
 =20
 
 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=20
 
 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=20
 
 =20
 
 Very Odd no ?
 
 =20
 
 I'm at a loss myself .
 
 =20
 
 If it's any consolation all versions of sunOS from 5.6 to current fail =
 due
 to problems with the Toshiba cardbus as well.
 
 =20
 
 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
