Installing FreeBSD from CD

[Ed Sutherland]

Okay. I booted from the cd and it stopped at the 'mountroot>' prompt. 
What do I enter here -- it is supposed to take the form of 'cd9660:acd0' 
but there  isn't any such device. Should this be my Mac partition, my 
Linux partition (which I'll convert to FreeBSD), or my CDROM? And how 
(from Mac OS X) do I determine what I need to enter? Thanks.
