freebsd loses cd-drive during installation

Hi,

Is there some hack to install FreeBSD when it loses the cd-drive during 
installation ? I have a couple of ole Sun Fire X2270 without service 
contract, so I would install FreeBSD onto them, but the thing is that 
the BIOS does see the CD-drive, and the kernel doesn't. Linux does boot 
and installs just fine on the same machine.

Thanks.

Eugene.
