I am installing the FreeBSD system from a DOS partition with succes.  
Because I can not to get my cdrom(a PCI ATAPI Mitsumi 2X cdrom) to work, 
the only way I can install is to copy the cdrom content to a a dos 
partition under /freebsd.  Therefore I xcopied the packages to 
D:/freebsd/packages/   However, the sysinstall installed the system 
but rejected the packages.  When I select the Packages from the menu, it 
did respond with 'found index' and gave me a whole list of package 
selections.  After I selected the package I need and return to the upper 
level menu, then it seemed to try to install but soon after come back with 
a message "can not find the xxxxx from the media".  I tried to copy the 
actual package from /packages/all to the correspoding directories but 
still got the same message. Please Help!!!
Thank you very much!
