I don't understand your statement. I haven't had any problems for a long 
time running sysinstall from a CD-ROM I've just booted from, either SCSI 
or IDE[0]

I seem to recall some very old distros having this problem, but I 
haven't seen it since 2000 or so.

[0] with the exception of an ancient 2X PC-Card CD-ROM on a Gateway 
ColorBook II that could not used from FreeBSD (least, I could never get 
it usable, although it probed and attached apparently correctly).
