I can get most of the way through set-up. I choose to install from CD-ROM, and I will get to the screen that has the progress meter. The CD will spin for about 5-10 seconds and stop. The progress meter never moves past zero. At first I thought this was an I/O setting error. So, I threw the same drive into NT Server, figured out which I/O address it was defaulting to, put it back into my BSD machine-to-be, and got the following error: "No CDROM devices found! Please check that your system's configuration is correct and that the..." So now I'm thinking that it wasn't an I/O error because I got further before I putzed with the I/O setting. The CD-ROM is a Delta, Model # OPC-K101. It is a relatively new, ATAPI 40x drive. Any suggestions? (Hope I was clear... Kind of new to the FreeBSD thing... Very comfortable in MS, however...) Why are no files being copied when it gets to that stage???? TIA.
