Help Given, I would like to thank Harry for the quick response and advice he gave in solving the ATAPI CD-ROM issue. *Notes* FYI When the CD-ROM does not detect in the final step before install the issue was on the ATAPI CD-ROM it must have the jumper set to (master). I would like to thank everyone that responded for all the different advice - I really appreicate the feed back and support that everyone offered.

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.
