5.2.1RC cdrom (disc1) and packages

[Melvyn Sopacua]

Hi,

after installation, I answered the various questions, configured the network 
and selected to "visit the ports collection". I selected a few packages and 
proceeded to install.
This hanged sysinstall completely. The emergency shell was still work, but 
sysinstall could not be killed (even using -KILL) and pkg_add and related 
processes had a pid 0.

It took about 15 seconds for the "Installing ... from acd0" message to turn 
up, and that also is the last thing I saw.

I used VTY4 to reboot the machine and packages are now installing correctly 
from cd-rom. The only thing "odd" about this installation procedure, is that 
I left the machine running the base install, and came back roughly an hour 
later, so the cdrom wasn't used for at least > 30 minutes.

This is an Asus PII-BS motherboard, one SCSI drive, one secondary master cd 
rom. As soon as I've got the machine up and running, I can send specifics, 
like dmesg.boot.

Since I suspect this to be an ATA problem - if somebody from the ata team 
needs a specific command to be run, or hardware / bios config let me know.
