Hi all, This is my very first post in this list, so I beg for your patience :) I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.1 on an IBM Netfinity 5000. I have the two CD's set. The machine uses a IDE DVD drive, and 5 SCSI disks. I boot the machine and the CD starts to boot. I select the FreeBSD normal booting. Everything seems to be fine. I can see the messages about the detected devices (BIOS CDROM is cd0 and so on...) I start the installation, The disks are detected, I set up my partitions and then I select the CD/DVD media installation... and then I get a No CD/DVD drive is present. The drive is working in terms of hardware (I can run several live CD linux distros for example) and then access the CD as usual. How is it possible that after booting with FreeBSD the sysinstall (?) program doesn't detect the cd? Thanks in advance
