It happens to me with _any_ "enhanced CD" (audio+data mixed CD), and _only_ on enhanced CDs. Never has it happened to me on any non-enhanced audio CD. My problem is not with the inability to get the data off, that doesn't seem to be a real issue. The problem is with the crashing of the computer. Why should _any_ data read from a removable disk of any kind be causing FreeBSD to crash by the mere act of attempting to read it from the disk? The device is reporting a failure, but why isn't the OS handling that failure gracefully? If I'm asking the wrong list, and should be asking hackers@freebsd.org or some list related to multimedia, please let me know.
