Matthew,

I got the same thing with a nearly identical setup. What I did to get around it was go to another virtual console, manually mount the cdrom, then, say to use an already mounted file system.

Incidentally, I had problems mounting the first cdrom under 2.2.5 and I have had a number of drive timeouts:

May 3 18:01:58 billthecat /kernel: scd0: timeout waiting for drive to spin up. May 3 18:02:01 billthecat /kernel: scd0: timeout. drive busy. May 3 18:03:02 billthecat /kernel: scd0: timeout waiting for drive to spin up. May 3 18:03:05 billthecat /kernel: scd0: timeout. drive busy. May 3 18:03:13 billthecat /kernel: scd0: timeout waiting for drive to spin up.

I haven't built a kernel yet. The drive works, but it definitely is working not quite as nicely as with 2.2.5 (previously 2.2.2, 2.2.1, 2.1.6, 2.1.5, and 2.1).

Greetings,

I have a 2X Sony CDU-33A CD-ROM in a 486/DX2-66 and I am trying to install 2.2.6-RELEASE. The problem is that when I get to the commit phase of the install, I get an error that says:

The CD in your drive looks more like and audio CD, not a FreeBSD install disk.

Then it asks me if I want to re-select and/or change my media. This goes on and on. I have put several disks through the drive and every one gives me the same error. The most confusing part is that I have installed FreeBSD (2.2.5) using this CD-ROM! Last night I updated the MB from 486-33 to 486-66, added a second IDE hd, and a modem. I have installed FreeBSD on the 486-66 MB many times before without problems. Any suggestions? Install finds the drive, identifies it correctly, but just won't read the disks.
