From the 2.2.6 ERRATA page: o The older Matsushita (Panasonic), Sony CDU-31 and Mitsumi (non-IDE) CDROM drives no longer permit CDROM installs. Fix: Fetch an updated boot floppy from the updates/ directory, e.g.: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/updates/boot.flp And use it to install 2.2.6 instead. This problem is fixed in 2.2-stable and will not be a problem with the next FreeBSD release.
