I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on my Powerbook G4 and am
running into trouble when I get to the part where you choose the
install media. Since I booted from a CD I choose to install the
packages from a CD/DVD and I get an error saying that no CD/DVD is
detected... Obviously there is one in the drive (and I have used this
disk for other installs so I know it is good) ...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim

Tim;

You may need to capture the disk so that Virtual PC sees it. To do
that go to Drives in the Virtual PC menu bar and capture disk.

I checked that ... (thinking that the installer unmounts the disk and
remounts it at some point) but that didn't apply - the disk was
captured already. I even tried capturing an image of the dIsk and
retrying but to no avail...

Thanks for the suggestion though!
