Because of this the drive is locked and can't be ejected/swapped (which can be annoying when you're installing something like KDE that has lots of dependancies spread across several CDs). >How-To-Repeat: >From a fresh (minimal) FreeBSD install, start sysinstall, select "configure", select "media: CD/DVD", then select "Packages", then choose something large with lots of dependancies that aren't already installed (KDE, Gnome, etc). >Fix: When sysinstall asks if you want to switch CDs, tell it "yes", then switch to a different virtual terminal and manually "unmount /cdrom", then switch CDs, then "mount /cdrom" and switch back to the sysinstall virtual terminal. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
