I have a new install.  I installed from a CDROM, ATAPI, using CD from the
latest book, by Mr. Lehey, a worthy investment, btw.

Anyhow, every singletime I tried to install as an X User through
sysinstall, the machine would lock up during the extraction process of
the xfr86332 files, in particular the servers files.

Finally I went back in and installed as an "average user."  Then I
thought I'd be cute and copy all the files over onto a directory in c:\,
where Win 95 resides, then mount the partition and install from there,
with FreeBSD.  However, even then, whenever I get into the servers files,
it won't copy after so many files copied.

The CD had scratches on it out of the vinyl yesterday; could this be a
bad CD causing my problem?

Also, when I try to mount the CDROM using mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c
/cdrom, I get an Input/Output error message.  Any help out there?

The CDROM is a Wahrens 24x IDE ATAPI.  I do see it when I use dmsg (?). 
I am a newbie; so I feel sure it must be something I'm doing here.

Thanks in advance.
