I start the install process with the 1st CD of the distribution, and I go through the partition phase with no problem. However, when I get to the point where I select the installation media (CD/DVD) it says that it cannot find the CD/DVD. I read on the FAQ list on the FreeBSD site that this can happen when the drive is configured as a slave with no master. So I opened up the box, and I saw that the drive has its own ATAPI/IDE cable/slot on the motherboard and the jumpers on the drive are set as MASTER. The drive is a new LG combo drive, I believe GH22LP20 or something close to it. I also tried to install Ubuntu and it works fine (but I really would like FreeBSD!). Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance giuseppe -- Dip.
