I didn't realize from your message that this was an EIDE CDROM drive. Soren is currently working on a driver for the 2.1 release (it may be in 2.0.5 if he tries to suprise people). IDE CDROM drives are really SCSI drives with a slow serial interface for shoving SCSI commands down, and should be fairly easy to support, but might require some SCSI hacking as well to allow code reuse. I'd expect that that's why the driver isn't finished yet. You *can* install by copying the files to your DOS partition and then mounting the DOS partition from BSD to run the install. You will have a slight problem with X this way because of the long names they used. This is fixable using the checksum file as a renaming guide (after you copy the files from the DOS to the BSD file system). Hope this helps.
