I'd noticed sysinstall failing to recognize my CD as well (SCSI
hanging off an Adaptec 2940) so I mounted it and then changed the
source media to "Filesystem" -- gave it the path /cdrom/blah/blah and
voila, success.
(this was under 2.1, I don't know yet if this behaviour will continue to
dog me in 2.1.5)
