I saw something similar in another thread, which I also experienced, when using a memstick "FIXIT"... maybe that hint also will help you: When you discover the DVD disappear in sysinstall, try the menu item "Options", and select the "Re-scan devices", and then go back to whatever you is trying to do ;-) (for the memstick issue, it is a known issue, but give it a try for the DVD as well) -- Mvh/Brgds Harry FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #2: Compiled at Wed Jun 2 00:56:50 CEST 2010
