I am really confused.  This is my first experience with installing FreeBSD.
 I have looked in the hardware.txt file and see only three CDroms listed:
    mcd0    Mitsumi CD-ROM
    matcd0  Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM
    scd0    Sony CD-ROM
Does this mean that these are the only scsi cdroms that can be recognized? 
If so, where can I get one?  If not, where do I find the config info on
other drives?

TIA, BettyB.
