Good morning, I am attempting to install FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on a Dell Dimension C521n (no Windows pre-installed) with a Sony model DDU1615S CD/DVD drive as the chosen boot media. Booting from the CD shows that the CD drive shows up as cd, and after doing the fdisk/disklabel stuff, trying to choose the CD drive as the chosen boot media gives me an error window with the message "No CD/DVD devices found". I would include a dmesg output if I knew how to get to it during an install. Why can't FreeBSD see the CD drive after sysinstall starts when it can clearly see it before sysinstall starts?
