After booting from the boot floppy, I make partition, etc., and finally came time to pick media to install; after picking CDROM as install media, an error saying that the CDROM is not recognized alway pops up. I've done this at least three times. The machine is a Dell Dimension 133c, with two embedded IDE controller. I have two IDE drives on the 1st controller and the cdrom is on 2nd controller. There's also a SCSI 2940W host adapter with a 2gig HD, where I plan to install freeBSD in one of the partition. The boot floppy seem to recognize all drives OK execpt for the CDROM. Any help or hint is greatly appreciate. Thanks.
