freebsd stable - Oct 2011 - booting 8.2 on Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4

I am having problems booting the FreeBSD 8.2 CD image on 
GA-790XTA-UD4(rev. 1.0). The last thing that I can see is "BIOS drive A: 
is disk0". Is this completely not supported? Can I do anything to 
install FreeBSD on such box?

Have you done the usual stuff?
- if not running the latest BIOS, try to update
- try to fiddle with relevant settings in BIOS
- Try another release of FreeBSD (older or newer), or a new snapshot
- Google "name of board + FreeBSD"

I did update from revision F2 to F3 of the BIOS.

I did try to turn the HDD setting to IDE from SATA

The FreeBSD 9 BETA3 DVD image does not boot either.

I have not found anything using that search.
