Hi all,

I've searched through the FreeBSD web site and looked at the release notes
for 2.0.5 regarding hardware compatibility, but haven't found the answer I'm
looking for.

I have an Intel system and want to use a Creative CDROM drive to install
freeBSD.  I've seen mixed results from those notes, so I thought this would
be the list to post to.  I need a definite answer, otherwise I'll have to
consider other options for installing it, so if someone can give me a "yes,
no, more or less" that my Creative CDROM will work through the install, I
would REALLY appreciate it! 

Thanks!

Mike.
