[Cialug] PC-BSD - install sloooow

[David Champion]

It's for me, just wanted to check it out.

The drive machine is practically new, and the CDR is new and not scratched.
The ISO matched with the md5sum before I burned it.

I've done a few test installs on it before,  including FreeNAS, which is
based on BSD, and it worked fine.
