Ok, here's the third report:
Using 2.2-ALPHA boot & fixit floppies and Hitachi CDR-7730 4x (which fails)

Probe says:
wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <HITACHI CDR-7730/0008a>, removable, iordy
wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 128 volume levels, ejectable tray
wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked

Debug screen (on Alt-F2) says
DEBUG: Try for wcd0c returns errno 2
DEBUG: Found a device of type CDROM named: wcd0c

Mounting fixit.flp for testing:
Fixit# mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt
mount_cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Input/output error
Fixit#

The solution: use the patch described in pr i386/1556
(which IMHO will also solve a number of other detect&mount&use
problems).
