Installing FreeBSD from CD

  Yep, that's right. There's no equivalent yet to NetBSD's 
macppc/dev/mediabay.c

  Yep - it shows that the CD is underneath the mediabay node. The 
current ATA code only handles ATA devices directly attached to the 
mac-io node.

  I had a quick glance at the NetBSD code. It doesn't look difficult, so 
I'll put it on the TODO list. Might take a while though.

later,

Peter.
