Nasty ! Even though some of us on lists might know to guess & avoid or ask about this, it seems an un-necessary pain as CDROM is only half full. I recall people got caught last time FreeBSD CDs didnt have both boot methods. Maybe whoever removed the code didnt know that ? Hopefully someone could put it back so FreeBSD doesn't look broken to some machines & people ?
