I recently helped a friend who was trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 from CD on a Compaq Presario 4170. I have installed 2.1.5 without difficulty on two other more 'generic' machines (i.e., not Compaq). Searching the newsgroup archive [http://www.freebsd.org/search.html], we learned that others had had similar difficulties with 'seeing' the CDROM device on various Compaq 4xxx when installing with 2.1.[56]. Their advice was to move directly 2.2.1, and it was our solution. We installed quickly and easily using the 2.2.1. This may be your best solution; I don't know for certain. D Ruiz <druid@n2k.com>
