Alright, so I figured out parts of the problem. After upgrading my
Pioneer DVR-107's firmware *, I was able to get FreeBSD to boot most
of the time (instead of hang/error out most of the time), with a CD
in the drive. Next, I found out that the timeouts were 1000 times too
long with atapicam, so fixing that certainly helped.
There's still a lock-up issue somewhere, and it's hard to pin down.
Cdparanoia eventually falls back to trying to read where it's erroring
out one sector at a time, then after that finally fails it ends up
closing the device or resetting it or something (obtuse code, that
program is), and this is causing the REAL hang.
I can't get any further because even though I have CAMDEBUG in the
kernel, it does me a fat lot of good when -CURRENT can't even output
printf() to the console anymore. I'd like to see the request that was
made right before the system hangs fully, but I never see bold output
on ttyv0 anymore on any of my systems and I REALLY NEED THIS UNBROKEN :(
Is this related to kern.log_console_output, which is undocumented?
Any help would once again be much appreciated.
* I ended up having to take mtools, mformat a new 2.88MB disk with
an MS-DOS boot disk boot sector and set of system files, mcopy over
and set up HIMEM64.EXE, TDSK.EXE, and the firmware flash stuff,
and mkisofs -b it into a bootable CD image....
