It's got an Optiarc DVD RW =20 AD-7170A drive (according to the BIOS), but you can't install off it. If you boot off an install CD (including the 7.0-CURRENT for August) =20 and try to start the live filesystem, the debug console shows this =20 output: acd0: FAILURE =96 READ_BIG HARDWARE ERROR asc=3D0=D708 ascq=3D0=D703 g_vfs_done():acd0[READ]error =3D 5 I don't know what to do with this information or how best to report =20 it, so I thought I'd post it here.
