Installer boot problems

Nevermind, figured it out while reading a post on this group.
Something about someone not being able to boot from cd when he put the cd in
his second drive.. And somebody explaining that that was because the
installer wasn't going to try to boot from acd1c..
Then it hit me that BSD doesn't use the linux device naming (hda being the
master drive on the primary controller, hdb being the second drive on the
primary controller, etc).
But rather names the devices as it probes them, so because there are 3
devices on the Adaptec controller (ID2: Tape drive, ID3: HD, ID4: CDROM), I
figured cd9660:cd0c had to work.
Bingo, why didn't I think of that earlier, what a waste of space on the
server.. Sorry about that folks.. ;)

Goodnight..
