I had that problem also.. it booted and ran the installation but then =
would not see it on the install.
I have a 48x atapi and scsi 1540 on a Phillips burner. FreeBSD is very =
picky about the atapi cdroms. It currently only supports =
Sony(proprietary interface) and Mitsumi, and a few others. You might =
want to determine the hardware (io@,Irq,dma) for your CDROM and manually =

Hopefully 4.0 will be better about the atapi interface. I used a scsi to =
install mine..
I hope someone has a better answer than mine

Subject: Installing FreeBSD 3.4
Hello.=20
=20
I am currently trying to install FreeBSD 3.4 on a "white box" clone =
system.=20
It gets to the point to where I select the installation method and it =
will not let me install from CD-ROM. It says that it could not detect a =
CD-ROM drive. How is this possible, when I booted from the CD and =
started the install from the CD?=20
=20
Please advise as to what steps to tkae to get FreeBSD to recognize my =
CD-ROM drive.=20
It is a Delta IDE 48x Model #: OIP-CD4800A=20
=20
Any help would be appreciated.=20
Thanks and Regards,=20
