Hello!

I have troubles installing Dragonfly BSD from a "simulated" USB-CDROM 
drive. I need to install the system on a remote machine which has a 
remote management extension card from Peppercon named Eric. This card is 
able to simulate an USB CDROM over network (samba) to the underlying OS, 
and I hadn't any problems in installing NetBSD or FreeBSD before.

When I try the new Dragonfly Release 1.12.2 I get this error:



no disk named 'acd0a' (and other cd0 derivates)
setrootbyname failed
iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount fialed: 6
Manual root filesystem specificatation:
(etc)

This looks like the bug I reported here:

Please try out the latest devel snapshot [1] and see whether it fixes
your problem.
