Can anyone tell me this error is for what?
-
That media error is normal when booting a CD-ROM and likely has nothing to do with your actual problem.
There are many suggestions on this page for what to do if you cannot boot from your hard drive:

everytime it wont boot and I get a lot of those errors I replace the cd drive and it works, i may still get the media error, but it boots/installs no problem

That means that for whatever reason, it can't see your HDD controller to boot from.
Usually you can get around this by changing a BIOS option for your SATA controller to "Legacy" or "IDE" or try them all.
-
it can also mean that you changed its position in the drive line up, I had this problem when changing it from slave to master (IDE), or sometimes changing sata ports, also when removing the cd drive that was on the same IDE channel.
-
ok i will follow the tips. then i will submit the result. I hope i can fix it and can use it.
thank you very much -

Type "?" as suggested in the message to see the valid boot devices and post the result here.

sorry for late respond. actually i already install PFsense on 80 gb IDe hard disk. When i had all those problem.
Another information. I am using pfsense for quit a time. But i never able to install on sata hard disk.
I hope BSD developer should do something about this sector.
Right now i am using my Pfsense on my Net cafe. which has 22 workstation.
And i am very much glad that pfsense developer made such a product with enterprise label feature. Right now we are using pfsense 4 different net cafe. and all are running very smoothly.
I have a question about Squid. and i will ask it on package section.
take care and ba bye
