>Description:
When installing FreeBSD for the first time from floppy, after visual
configuration is finished, devices are probed.  After second IDE
controller is found, screen clears, and stops with a block-shaped 
cursor in bottom left.  2nd screen shows various failed CD-ROM probes.
(cd0, scd0, matcd0)

Installation will not continue from this point.

Did an identical installation with IDE Zip drive disconnected, and the
install program ran perfectly.  Once FreeBSD is installed to the hard
drive, it will boot with IDE Zip drive connected.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install with IDE Zip drive.  :)
>Fix:
Remove IDE Zip drive until installation complete.
