I installed FreeBSD 2.1 from a Mitsumi 2x-speed ISA CD drive, and 
sysinstall worked fine.  Anytime I use the boot floppy to start FreeBSD, 
sysinstall finds the CD drive.

However, when running sysinstall from /stand/sysinstall it does not find 
the CD drive.  The drive is mountable and readable from the command 
line.  I have tried sysinstall with the drive mounted and unmounted.

Sysinstall also refuses to run "Add Network interfaces" to configure a 
ethernet card.

Regards,

John
