      I'd like to install 2.3.4 remotely using out-of-band interface (ILOM) on a SUN server.
      So I mount CD-ROM ISO and instruct the server to boot from it.
      It starts booting and then it fails on trying to mount CD-ROM.

      I went through all messages during boot process and I could not find any trace of CD/DVD or USB related device.
      I've tried Debian ISO and it boots and installs normally.

        That's likely the problem. It may be that the type of drive/controller they emulate is not supported by FreeBSD. Are there any options to change how it behaves?

            'AMI vitual CDROM' does not seem particularly unusual. Seems to be detected fine on a lot of hardware in FreeBSD.
            Exactly what Sun device is this?

            What exact ISO are you trying to boot?
