revise fpanel1 in motherboard and BIOS settings, play with boot & ACPI Values until works:

I am happy with IDE PATA and SATA flash or small Hdd
letting hardware boot the way it did from the factory has always been a lot less troublesome for me.

in the early days of USB booting I believe a lot of the bios issues were not as perfected as today's [main stream] USB booting.
early results seem to have been all over the place, and since it is "real mode" all sorts of limitation and conditions are important
current equipment usb booting is a far more finished product. [this whole paragraph is IMHO]

The problem is also when i boot with cd / dvd, I can boot with Windows via USB, so the computer can boot via USB and I use the usb key, I have also tryed with different USB key

I have also upgrade bios to the newest.

Do not use liveCD to do install use liveUSB instead.

I have used livecd for trying cd / dvd and I used liveusb for usb but still

My supermicro box wont boot from a CD for whatever reason. So I created the USB stick on another machine then simply used the old sneaker net to go transfer the usb to the supermicro.

what option did you change in the bios to make it boot from usb/cd?

In bios enable Boot from removial media.

and did you change the boot order?

no I press F9 and then select boot from usb and then I select the usb key with nas4free live, I have one to install to too.

It start to boot, but stop with the BTX loader

Can the problem be at this pc is with AMD CPU

I found this in another thread

that might be your problem.
freebsd and those old amd chipsets dont work well together.
