Description jguojun 2012-03-01 22:40:09 UTC 
After primary installation is done and goes for Configure --> Packages MENU,

Choose to install any package will fail due to asking to change DISK, which is not existing. For example:

        This is disc #1.  Package xorg-wrapper-1.0_10 is on disc #0
        Would you like to switch discs now?

For DVD, there is no other disk but one. This is the same problem that exists on
8.2-Release.

Fix: 

For DVD installation, do not check the disk, but if the destination package.tbz exists.
How-To-Repeat: Install 8-2 or 8.3-BETA then try to install xorg-7.5.1 or other package from
Configure --> Packages MENU (or run sysinstall after system boot up).

sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall in FreeBSD 9.x. Closing.
