I'm trying to install FreeBSD 3.3 (A full 4.4 BSD lite based operating system). The installation book I'm using is called "The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey" Third Edition. I got to the end and I was at the last step where it states Install from FreeBSD CD-ROM. I clicked that an it says "NO CD-ROM devices found!" I went into the trouble shooting area of the book and it states "I'm a lame ass - I'm using an ATAPI CD-ROM drive which does not quite fit the specifications, you need help from the FreeBSD developers. I have tried try hitting scroll lock then pageup a bit to see if it was detected, hit scroll lock again to exit the pager mode. ~ This did not work. So what do I do now ? I don't want to shut down the computer it took me an hour to get to this point - I'm stuck on the screen: Install from FreeBSD CD-ROM. Please advise.
