CD Not Recognized after initial screen at install

[David Armstrong]

I've only got the one drive in their. I think there is a setup issue 
with the drive. The message MODE_SENSE_BIG timeout occurs on acd0 when 
the installation program starts. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Thanks for the help so far.
