Hi,
I am having the same problem with the CD as Ken is.
I also tried the suggested diagnostics with exactly the
same results. Media is in the drive, but it is not being
recognized. I've been building kernels since FBSD-0.9 so
I think I got that right by now. This cropped up somewhat
recently (in the past few weeks). My CD was working fine
when I used it last month. I usually rebuild the entire
system once a week.
I think there is a problem in the software. Two different
drives on two different machines (my CD is connected to
an NCR SCSI controller) with the same problem.
