Yes, it  is absolutely true.  I  installed the FreeBSD  five times and
every time I came  across the same  problem for the building of  ports
and mounting the /cdrom. I installed both  from boot floppy and CD-ROM
direct, but results are the same. Anyways, I got an IDE CD-drive (TEAC
6x) and I     am totally confused  of  what   to do  next. Even    the
documentation make  me more  confuse  and I really  need help  for the
correct/complete  installation of my UNIX system.  It  will be greatly
appreciated if you give me a clear direction in detail.

Thanks,

Kazem.
