I build all of my servers without CD and floppy drivers -- I  
configure them to build as loadable module just in case, but I've  
never yet had the need to load them...  If I could get freebsd to  
install from a usb CD, i'd probably order the boxes without cd drives  
altogether, as it is used pretty much exactly once per life of server  
around here.
