Hello,

I think that reading from CDROM is actually broken
in 9.0-RELEASE/sparc64.

On FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE/sparc64, mounting a physical
CDROM burned with FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-sparc64-disc1.iso
and running sha256 on usr/freebsd-dist/*.txz yields the same
results as listed in usr/freebsd-dist/MANIFEST.

However, on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE/sparc64, mounting the
same CDROM (using /dev/cd0), and running sha256 on the
same usr/freebsd-dist/*.txz files yields completely different results:

SHA256 (base.txz) =
a96e255a9379ec1a58b756c3e788e34345fd79e35234925df842d700ccb10e1a
SHA256 (doc.txz) =
54674bb68b111c3465b0beca8893a6b514b80e20dc22f2bbd208b992568261dc
SHA256 (games.txz) =
b9bedddeea549640b4f41a577f4c5f09aa29d0c3d0d4c105bc4fe7d327bf9fcd
SHA256 (kernel.txz) =
661df36b4a2e87d2aa88ce998b50d48f2a91892fc288452a0282e3c092739046
SHA256 (ports.txz) =
315cbfac6f252de5209a3513a846d14650b98e2dcf99c12779ffd1d32acaa287
SHA256 (src.txz) =
6b3a4a9536b1ca2618949bb7bb44478266db551ac9f09ccfc92b5469a715f3cf

This also prevents an installation of 9.0-RELEASE/sparc64
via bsdinstall from CDROM (bsdinistall says that the data sets
are corrupted). I was only able to get 9.0 on that SunBlade 1500
by using a regular source upgrade from a running 8.2-RELEASE
system (using usr/freebsd-dist/src.txz from that very same CDROM
that checksummed correctly on 8.2-RELEASE).

Just to make it clear: the CDROM media is correct and checksums
correctly on 8.2-RELEASE. It doesn't checksum correctly on 9.0-RELEASE
because reading from CDROM media is now (partially) broken.

Just to make sure the 9.0-RELEASE sha256 program isn't at fault,
I've mounted FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-sparc64-disc1.iso via mdconfig
and run sha256 on the *.txz files again: same results as in MANIFEST.
So sha256 on 9.0 itself is okay, it's only the reading from physical
media that corrupts data (and prevents installation from CDROM -- funny
that this passed release engineering and testing...).

Thanks,
-cpghost.
