No CD drives were found

Using the newest minimal image from the "Get Arch" page, I get this error when I try to install packages using the CD. I've installed other distros with no issue, wanted to use Arch instead of Gentoo this time.

Error agagain is "No CD drives were found."

Is this an easily fixable bug?

Hi,

this might be solved by the "ide-legacy" boot option. (type arch ide-legacy at the boot prompt), if you have a relatively old computer.
