Description Cam 2002-11-05 03:10:01 UTC 
Trying to install FreeBSD-4.5-RELEASE off of a CD, going thru standard
setup in sysinstall, i got past partitioning, 'selecting canned distro',
 get to 'choose the installation media' and the #1 choice is CD-ROM - 
'install from a FreeBSD CD-ROM', which i choose.

At this point the sysinstall comes up with an error about the device not existing?

The CD-ROM is a standard ATAPI cdrom, which has worked with linux redhat, etc previously.
Is this a bug in systinstall? 
Cheers,
Cam
