I have had difficulty installing BSD on at least one Thinkpad model..

;-)

But before you do anything else, can you check to be sure the USB CD drive you 
are using is getting enough power?

If it does not have a 'wall wart' it may at least need power from a second 
USB-to-DC cord attached to a *separate* machine.

Yah - this is one of those 'should not be a problem..' issues, but it has been one.

HTH,
