The installer uses an MFS/MD root, so it's not the same. This is
not a recent problem; I'm pretty sure that I have seen this at
least as far back as FreeBSD 4.1 when using a CDROM root filesystem
with a SCSI CDROM drive. It's one of those bugs that I never got
around to investigating since the CDROM drives I use are almost
exclusively ATAPI, and a CD root works fine for ATAPI drives.
