Ok so i'm hearing a lot of "unsupported" here.
I just wanted to mention that when it boots up from the CD it shows boot
devices: fd0 so it seems like only floppy is recognized.

This could be because this DVD-drive is kinda glitchy, FreeBSD had issues
with it too when i installed it but i just kept trying and after a few
timeouts it worked.

I'll just have to get my hands on one of those floppy disks i keep hearing
so much about from my grandfather. ;)
