I booted with the floppies and told it to install ftp after i configured the ethernet card. It finished the install and the machine is booting fine, the only problem is that, when i put my cdrom in the port and turn on my machine, FreeBSD will not recognize my cdrom drive. I wanted to know, does the cdrom have to be in the port during the install for it to work in freebsd? (if that's so, I am like really screwed because I can't do that ) Thanks hope to hear from you guys , Later To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
