Trying to install freeBSD 2.2.2 I have received the installation disk from Walnut Creek and am wanting to install. The OS is having problems finding my cdrom drive however. I am not exactly sure where the problem lies, whether its in the kernel set up with IRQ's and things like that. So I tried creating a dos partition, extendid partition, and then it found the dos partiton when I chose the dos in the installation media but about half way it said that it couldn't mount the drive. Those are the only two ways that I know to install it. Thank you for you time and cooperation.
