I boot the installation off the CD drive, go through the setup process fine, but when I have to choose the installation method, it reports `No CD devices found!'. Disabling ACPI didn't do anything, either. I remembered I had an old FreeBSD 4.10 disk lying around, so I gave that a go as a last resort, and lo and behold, it worked- it installed everything off the first CD. Haven't tried 5.x, I assume the latest release would support the most hardware. Were some drivers removed after 4.x, or isn't the installer detecting the CDROM? Is there any way to fix this, or should I stick to 4.x (or, eek, Linux)? It's a `CRN-8241B' if that helps, but anything that turns up on Google seems to be about 4.x, and works fine. Thanks in advance, but apologies if I've posted to the wrong place. -Anthony ____________________________________________________ On Yahoo!7 Messenger - Make free PC-to-PC calls to your friends overseas. http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
