I am installing FreeBSD 2.1 from Walnut Creek's CDROM. I have a Mitsumi APATI
IDE CDROM on my PC. In 2.1 it includes an 'experimental' installation program
to install from IDE CDROM. However, when I boot my boot floppy, it does not
recognize my CDROM (which is supposed to be wcd..). Has anyone successfully
installed FreeBSD from IDE CDROM?
