>Description:
sysinstall continues to have a bug which makes it believe that
the Mitsumi FX001D CD-ROM drive does NOT have a disc in it
(although there is a disc in the unit) while it is sensing which
device contains the installation media.  Moreover, prior to
release 2.2.5 I was able to "trick" sysinstall into proceeding
with the installation by leaving the CD-ROM drive's door open
while sysinstall did its probing, and the door would soon close
and installation would proceed; this is no longer the case with
relase 2.2.5.  Interestingly enough, once the O/S is installed,
there are no problems whatsoever mounting the mcd0 device and
reading from it; it is only sysinstall that is unable to detect
that the drive is ready.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run sysinstall, either to install the O/S or even after installation.
>Fix:
Purchase another CD-ROM drive brand/model, as I just had to do.

Any chance you would donate the old CD to our test-labs ? 
if so, please contact msmith@freebsd.org for details.
