>Description:
trying to insall 8.1 on a machine with two CD drives fails
with the error "The disc in your drive looks more like an Audio
disc than a FreeBSD release". If I try and install 7.3
instead, I get and extra step in the dialog which allows me to
choose which of the two CD drives (cd0 or acd0) to use. The 7.3
install works, where the 8.1 install fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try and install 8.1 onto a machine with 2 drives as described
and observe that it cant find the correct drive. 7.3 should work.
>Fix:
Workaround is to install 7.3 and then upgrade to 8.1, but it is
not ideal.
