>Organization:
>Environment:
FreeBSD bsd-ms.scenix.com 8.3-BETA1 FreeBSD 8.3-BETA1 #0: Wed Feb 29 12:44:48 PST 2012
>Description:
After primary installation is done and goes for Configure --> Packages MENU,

Choose to install any package will fail due to asking to change DISK, which is not existing. For example:

        This is disc #1.  Package xorg-wrapper-1.0_10 is on disc #0
        Would you like to switch discs now?

For DVD, there is no other disk but one. This is the same problem that exists on
8.2-Release.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 8-2 or 8.3-BETA then try to install xorg-7.5.1 or other package from
Configure --> Packages MENU (or run sysinstall after system boot up).

>Fix:
For DVD installation, do not check the disk, but if the destination package.tbz exists.
