Fetch a new boot floppy from ftp.freebsd.org.  This is a known bug.

>From the 2.2.6 ERRATA:

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/updates/2.2.6-RELEASE/boot.flp
