I purchased a CD from Walnut Creek CDROM of FreeBSD 2.0.  The CD had utilities 
to create a boot disk and a CPIO disk.  I was able set up my FreeBSD partition 
and got all the way to the sysinstall utility, where I would load the unix 
utilities from CD, FTP, dos diskette, etc.  When I attempt to load from my CD, 
it gives me the choices of SCSI or Mitsimu type CDROM.  I have a Wearness IDE 
CDROM, and the system doesn't recognize it.  I'm really not concerned with the 
unix system not recognizing the CDROM, I just want to be able to finish the 
installation.

My FreeBSD partition is actually a second 420mb drive (the entire disk is one 
partition).  I do have 800+mb spare in a DOS partition on my first disk that I 
could use tp load the unix utilities from.  I just xcopied everything from the 
CD to the dos partition and then tried to finish the installation, but the 
sysinstall wouldn't recognize if I tried wd(0,a) or wd(1,a) or hd in place of 
wd.  

The dos partition is the third partition on the first drive (after 1 FAT 
primary, and 1 HPFS logical from the extended).

Any help or suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

                                     Thanks,
                                    Jason Dell

P.S. I know you guys are busy, so whenever you can get to the response is 
fine (like I have a choice).
