>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	Mitsumi FX001D Internal CDROM drive
	FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Feb 19 23:08:10  1997
	c/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

>Description:

	When installing FreeBSD 2.1.7, if one follows the directions and
	thus closes the CDROM drive's gate before starting the installation,
	the install program fails to detect the CDROM drive.

	This is an old problem which is *still* happening.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
	Open the CDROM drive's gate; reboot the machine; let the system go through
	its probes; as soon as 'install' is starting, the drive's gate closes (by
	itself); later on install recognizes the CDROM drive (and you may proceed
	with the insrallation).
