>Description:
When I try to install a fresh FreeBSD system from CDs
(boot only / disk1 ) the cdloader starts, a little rotor
start running an that's all! The install process stops here.

This problem occurs manly with home computers, specially with
dell computers.

I  assume the cdrom works perfectly, I install in my computer
most of the Linux distros and windows, the iso wasn't broken
and the cdrom was perfectly burned, I can use the CD in other
computers without problem. I also can use the cd to install 
freebsd in my computer using an external cdrom connected by USB.

I found messages on the ML about this issue but without solution
other than "use usb"

Is cdloader broken ?
