>Description:
During install the kernel doesn't detect the matcd0 device.
Problem Report i386/29792 has the same problem (under 4.3). Kris Kennaway said:
"Unfortunately I doubt any of the committers have a matcd device any
 more to test this.  If it's not user error, or a generic bug in
 FreeBSD which effects other devices, I don't think there's much chance
 of this getting fixed."
But under 4.4 in HARDWARE.TXT the device is still said to be suported:
"The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time:
[...]
* Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative SoundBlaster) proprietary interface
  (562/563 models) (matcd(4))"
So it should be removed or fixed...

Boot from install floppies and go into the "visual config" thing

 It is not practical to put _all_ of the supported hardware into the
 GENERIC kernel. 
 
 The code for matcd(4) is still in FreeBSD-STABLE. Add it to a custom
 kernel configuration file,
 
   device          matcd0  at isa? port 0x230
 
 And build a new kernel.
 
 If you have trouble finding the device with the new kernel, please
 direct questions on the topic to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org or
 another appropriate list.

State-Changed-When: Mon Oct 22 02:59:35 PDT 2001 
State-Changed-Why:  
matcd(4) devices are no longer included in GENERIC. You will need to 
compile a custom kernel with the device. It is not practical to 
include all supported hardware in the GENERIC kernel.
