I'm new with FreeBSD and am having some problem that I need help with.

1. Running /stand/sysinstall and selecting media type CDROM keep getting the 
error "No CDROM device found" I have a SCSI CDROM that is mounted and that I 
can access, is there a file or something that need to be set so that 
sysinstall can find the CDROM?


2. With Xfree86 it specifies that to check a tty port type "cat < /dev/tty00" 
and you should see some output to screen. I have both sio and the kernel see 
them on boot up time.
sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa
sio0: type 16550A 
sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16550A
sio2 not found at 0x3e8
sio3 not found at 0x2e8
 
I have tried making the device MAKEDEV tty00 but nothing happens. I thought 
that I read somewhere that FreeBSD doesn't  use tty00 but uses ttyd0, tried 
that device and didn't get any output. went into sysinstall and set serial 
mouse to COM1 so that I have /dev/mouse link to /dev/cuaaa ???  and tried that 
device with no luck. I have tried 2 different LOGITECH moused that work fine 
on my pc.

Any help on either of these 2 questions would be greatly apprieciated
