I tested the CD and it showed a very high error rate with CDSpeed.
Burned a new one and it works.  :-)  Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately I'm stuck on the next problem.  This time with the
Areca RAID controller on FreeBSD 7.0BETA3 AMD64:

arcmsr0: <Areca SATA Host Adapter RAID Controller (RAID6 capable)> mem 
0xfdbff000-0xfdbfffff,0xfd400000-0xfd7fffff irq 16 at device 14.0 on pci10
ARECA RAID ADAPTER0: Driver Version 1.20.00.14 2007-2-05
ARECA RAID ADAPTER0: FIRMWARE VERSION V1.43 2007-4-17
arcmsr0: [ITHRRAD]
...
Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
(probe23:arcmsr0:0:16:0): inquiry data fails comparison at DV1 step

[hangs...]

The controller is an ARC-1220 PCI-Express with 8 SATA ports.  The
firmware is the newest according to their website.  Connected are
4 Seagate 750GB SATA drives (the ES 24x7 variant).  With 6.3RC1
AMD64 it works just fine.
