Installing FreeBSD from CD

Hello,

Old thread but appears valid. I am trying the ISO on a Pismo 
"FireWire" PowerBook with a device bay CD/DVD drive and USB keyboard.

My listing ends with the ad0: entry but no acd0: entry. Is the device 
bay drive not supported?

During initial CD boot, it read:

Booted from: /pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/media-bay at 34/ata-3 at 20000/disk at 0
/
/boot/kernel/kernet...

Does that help any?

Thanks,

Michael.
