Hello -
 
I want to install FreeBSD 5.3 onto a rackmount server that came with two SATA 
hard drives 
(it came with no CD or floppy). I will borrow a keyboard and monitor because I 
was informed
today on this list that a "headless install" from my laptop over a null-modem 
cable would slow.
 
I was going to buy a cheap USB floppy drive today (I saw prices from $30 to 
$50) but at jandr.com in NYC today I saw a USB CD-RW/DVD+/-RW on sale for $99 
(Panasonic DVRS706) so I got that instead, figuring it was "more bang for the 
buck". 
 
Can I install FreeBSD 5.3 from this USB CD drive? 

If not, what sort of CD drive can I install from?
 
Thanks.
