I start the install process with the 1st CD of the distribution, and I go through the partition phase with no problem. However, when I get to the point where I select the installation media (CD/DVD) it says that it cannot find the CD/DVD. I read on the FAQ list on the FreeBSD site that this can happen when the drive is configured as a slave with no master. So I opened up the box, and I saw that the drive has its own ATAPI/IDE cable/slot on the motherboard and the jumpers on the drive are set as MASTER. The drive is a new LG combo drive, I believe GH22LP20 or something close to it. I also tried to install Ubuntu and it works fine (but I really would like to have FreeBSD!). On an unrelated topic, does anybody know whether the network card Attansic Technology on Asus P5Q Pro motherboard is compatible with FreeBSD? Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance giuseppe -- Dip.
