Yes, it is absolutely true. I installed the FreeBSD five times and
every time I came across the same problem for the building of ports
and mounting the /cdrom. I installed both from boot floppy and CD-ROM
direct, but result is the same. Anyways, I got a IDE CD-drive (TEAC
6x) and I am totally confused what to do next. Even the documentation
make me more confuse and I really need help for the correct/complete
installation of my UNIX system. It will be greatly appreciated if you
give me a clear direction in detail.
Thanks,
Kazem.
