I recently picked up freebsd 2.0.5 (having a slow net connection, install 
over the net is not an option)

But here's the problem, in my machine I have a mitsumi fx001 configured 
at 0x340, and irq11 (standard for mcd1) on boot up it finds mcd1 but when 
I actually get to the installation menus, it claims I have no cd,

under floppy boot, under config menu, I tried a probe mcd1 and it gave me 
a result code of 0x8 (not sure what that means?)

if anyone can shed some light, or needs more info, lemme know, I would 
love to get off the other platforms, and on to freebsd, but I have some 
more playing to do yet, before it works :(
