Downloaded FreeNAS-9.2.1-RELEASE-x86.iso .
Tried to install on physical machine but cd rom stuck at point of ACPI10 or something like this.
Tried from the same disk to install via vmware and it was installed.
Have NO ideas why it is possible to install on virtual and not possible to install on physical machine from the same cd?
Any help please?

Thank you. AHCI enabled.
Trying to install on notebook :
1. freenas: FreeNAS-9.2.1-RELEASE-x86.iso
2) 3gb ram, Intel HM55 Chipset (information found from here http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/pc-peripherals/notebook-computers/essential/NP-RV511-A01UK-spec)
3) Gigabit Wired Ethernet LAN
4) thought better to write down last two lines when installation stops:
pcib0: <ACPI HOST-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0
pci0:<ACPI PCI BUS> on pcib0

Any recommendations? Or better not to install on this notebook?

Notebooks almost never work. To be honest, I'd just walk away and not even try to troubleshoot further. The number of people getting FreeNAS to even boot on notebooks is probably a single digit percentage.
