Howdy,

I am entirely new to FreeBSD and will apologize up front for asking anything
silly or too trivial.

I've just purchased the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.0 CR-ROM and I am having 
trouble getting it installed.  Here is my problem.

The initial installation process went somewhat painfully until I realized
that I was suppose to type wd(1,a)/kernel instead of hd(1,a)/kernel when
the boot prompt appears.  Now I get to the point where it is ready to install
the bindist files.  The problem is FreeBSD is unable to see my CD-ROM, a 
Mitsumi Quad-speed IDE CD-ROM.  My question is: how do I get the files from
the CD-ROM to the hard drive when it can't mount /dev/mcd0a to /mnt?

My system configuration:
Gateway 2000 P5-90
1.44 3 1/2" FD
1.2  5 1/4" FD
HD1: Western Digital 540MB (master)
HD2: Maxter 1260MB (slave)
	slice 1: FreeBSD
	slice 2: Reserved
	slice 3: extended MS-DOS
 (both hard drives are connected to the PCI (primary) IDE connector on the
  motherboard)
CD-ROM: Mitsumi Quad-Speed, model CRMC-FX400
 (the CD-ROM is connected to the ISA (secondary) IDE connector on the
  motherboard; this CD-ROM is set to being a Master)
Memory: 8MB
Modem/Sound Card: Boca Research Sound Expression 14.4 VSp, combo
 modem and sound card.  (I've also connected the CD-ROM to this card, which
 has a CD-ROM controller interface; this didn't work either)
Graphics Card: ATI GX Mach 64 w/ 2MB PCI DRAM

I noticed in the FreeBSD FAQ that the Mitsumi FX001D(16bit 2x Speed) is
supported.  Does this mean Quad-Speed CD-ROMs are not supported?  If so,
what kind of work-arounds exist?

Thanks ahead of time for any assistance offered.  I hate to think I'm
screwed and have to give up on FreeBSD.
