Known bug.  From the 2.2.6 ERRATA page:

o The older Matsushita (Panasonic), Sony CDU-31 and Mitsumi (non-IDE) 
  CDROM drives no longer permit CDROM installs. 
  
Fix:  Fetch an updated boot floppy from the updates/ directory, e.g.:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/updates/boot.flp

And use it to install 2.2.6 instead.  This problem is fixed in 2.2-stable 
and will not be a problem with the next FreeBSD release.
