On my new (last night) FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE box [PII-233x2, 128 Mb RAM, 4G IDE HD, IDE (ATAPI) CD] I have been unable to 'mount /cdrom' as root. Trying to do so has resulted in the following error message: cd9660: Input/Output error This is the same cd drive I used to install (flawlessly) with. Reading the mailing list archives, I see that the response from the list to this error is to the effect of "You have a flaky cd drive". So, does this mean I have to replace the drive? Or is there a less drastic solution? I can post dmesg output if that would help.
