I installed FBSD 2.2.1.  And my X server is working fine.  If i invoke
/stand/sysinstall either from prompt or from my X-Windows the system
hangs, and I have to reboot the system.  How can I mount my CD-ROM..
Same thing happens, If I try "mount"  command as given in the handbook
at the prompt or from my X-Windows.  I installed FBSD from my CDROM
only.  When It is rebooting it is configuring the CDROM and the device
file is there.  I don't know the problem.  I would appreciate if anybody
can come up with some suggestions and help. 

 Thanks a lot.
Iyer.
