mine says it is iso0660 it is the walnut creek version, and it seems to 
identify it as the correct cdrom, nec:273, but then it says on the next 
line that it is a 500k/s 500k cache disk, then further down in the boot, 
it says timeout getting status of mcd0c and it will not work to install 
or mount later.  Any suggestions, as I would like to keep freebsd, but i 
dont like having to install from dos partition, and want the 
availability of my cdrom drive.
