If I try and install 7.3 instead, I get and extra step in the dialog which allows me to choose which of the two CD drives (cd0 or acd0) to use. The 7.3 install works, where the 8.1 install fails. >How-To-Repeat: Try and install 8.1 onto a machine with 2 drives as described and observe that it cant find the correct drive. 7.3 should work. >Fix: Workaround is to install 7.3 and then upgrade to 8.1, but it is not ideal. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
