Fwd: 5.0/5.1: Installer does not find CD-ROM drive - even though it's booted off it

[Per von Zweigbergk]

I'd like to report this as a bug. I posted this to freebsd-current 
earlier, but only got one answer for someone else with the same problem.

I have not been able to verify this currently with FreeBSD 4.8, as the 
internet connect here is very slow. I'm going to try that later today. 
What address should I send bug report followups to?
