Hi, i once had this error too and searched even hell about a solution. In some archive i found the reason: Some CD-ROM-drives don't understand a strange ATA-signal wich is used by FreeBSD for communication. Once ago there had been a patch, but as i remember, it was in the times of FreeBSD 3.*. As i know, there is _NO_ solution but installing another CD-ROM-drive or removing the drive. If you don't have another drive, you could install via bootdisk and FTP.
