At start it offers: "F1- FreeBSD, F2- Windows ". If I press F2, it hangs forever. If I press F1 it boots normally and CDROM can be seen, when mounted. Boot sequence I can change, but CDROM cant be seen initialy and no boot comes from it.
What can I do?

hv_ata_pci_disengage
HYPER-V(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual HYPER-V(4)
NAME
hv_ata_pci_disengage -- Hyper-V ATA PCI Disengage driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in the system kernel configuration file:
device hyperv
DESCRIPTION
The hv_ata_pci_disengage driver prevents the native FreeBSD ATA driver from loading in the presence of Hyper-V. FreeBSD guests running on
Hyper-V can take advantage of the Hyper-V Storage Virtual Consumer (hv_storvsc(4)) for using their IDE devices. Since the ATA driver serves
IDE devices as well, there is a chance that the ATA driver may interfere with the operations of hv_storvsc(4). The hv_ata_pci_disengage
driver avoids conflicts between the ATA driver and hv_storvsc(4) by disabling the ATA driver when the FreeBSD guest is booting.
A side effect of disabling the ATA driver is that CDROM may become inoperational on FreeBSD guest partitions. If CDROM access is a must then
users may use "set hw.ata.disk_enable=1" at boot time to prevent the ATA driver from being disabled.
SEE ALSO
hv_netvsc(4), hv_storvsc(4), hv_utils(4), hv_vmbus(4)
HISTORY
Support for hv_ata_pci_disengage first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0. The driver was developed through a joint effort between Citrix Incorpo-
rated, Microsoft Corporation, and Network Appliance Incorporated.
AUTHORS
FreeBSD support for hv_ata_pci_disengage was first added by Microsoft BSD Integration Services Team <bsdic@microsoft.com>.
