The still insufficient support of FreeBSD for IDE CDROM drives is still
one of the major headaches for some people (I'm sure there are a lot
others) like me. Imagine having a CDROM drive and not being able to
directly install from that CD. Imagine having to still copy files from
the CDROM to disk to be able to install FreeBSD.
