But anyway this time I did edit the kernal configuration screen. I removed all references to scsi that would remove, and left the sony cdrom line. I then went through the normal install up to the media part. This time it tried to read the cd! Of course if failed as it gave the error message that the cd was either not a freeBSD or prior to the 2.1.5 release. Since it was the latter all seems ok and I did not try to go back and redo the boot. I will then work on the options, perhaps even discussing this with Walnut Creek as you suggested earlier.
