On my e4300 I had to mess with the ATA operation mode to get it to even boot the cd...

Hello list.

I'm quite new to OpenBSD, have made one installation in Virtualbox plus an installation on a USB stick on a 32-bit pc.

Now I want to make an installation on a USB stick using the amd64 installation CD.

The machine Dell Latitude E6500 is currently running Win7 plus FreeBSD 8.1 in a dual boot configuration.

I removed the hard drive not to make a mistake, inserted the CD and the USB stick.

Installation starts, when asked how to install on the stick I those use the whole (w) drive.

Then comes the question of installation media and the choices are ftp http or done.

I can do the installation via http so I'm ok. But I am wondering how do I do in order to find the CD-rom drive. My plan is to install OpenBSD on this machine in the future.

Thanks
