Gee, I think I'll go drop $40 to get this book so I know how to find drive D: as windows calls it. Yeah, that makes sense. Har! Now before you comment, yes I do own a copy of the book and refer to it as needed. It's an excellent reference, but how to find and mount your cd shouldn't require a 2 1/2" thick book whether it's 3am or 3pm. Many new FreeBSD users are coming from the windoze world where the cd just shows up like magic. There's no reason to make it unpleasant for them to make the switch by hiding what should be obvious.
