	Hello all!

	Okay, I tried to reinstall to see if I can clear up some of my CDRom
toubles, but my Hitatchi cdrom is still not being detected or supported at
install.  Acutally, I think it does detect that there is a cdrom there, in
fact it even shows that it found it, but for some reason I get an error
when I try to install.  Let me show you what error it is that I get:

Error mounting /dev/wcd0c on /dist: Input/output error (5)

	Now let me show you what the bootup messages say about the cdrom:

Sep 18 01:12:03 mustang /kernel: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
Sep 18 01:12:03 mustang /kernel: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <IBM-DJAA-31700>
Sep 18 01:12:03 mustang /kernel: wd0: 1628MB (3334464 sectors), 3308 cyls,
16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
Sep 18 01:12:03 mustang /kernel: wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <HITACHI
CDR-7730/0008c>, removable, iordy
Sep 18 01:12:03 mustang /kernel: wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play,
128 volume levels, ejectable tray
Sep 18 01:12:03 mustang /kernel: wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked
Sep 18 01:12:03 mustang /kernel: wdc1 not found at 0x170

	I guess that means that it was dectected, now i'm confused about where
FreeBSD tried to look for it when it installs, and why I keep getting that
/dev/wcd0c mounting error.  I would really like to install this via CDRom,
but I don't wanna go out and buy a new cdrom specifically for FreeBSD.  I
believe my cdrom should work.  FreeBSD says that it supports atapi cdroms,
and I believe that is what I have.  

	Please help!  Thank you.
