>Environment:

Pentium system based on an Asus P55T2P4 motherboard, rev 2.3, bios
1.08, NCR '825 with bios 3.04 and two SCSI disks and one DAT drive,
Hitachi CDR-7730 ATAPI CD-ROM installed as master on secondary IDE
port, no other IDE devices.

(A system at work with an NEC CDR-280 also has problems, but that'll
be the subject of another PR Monday...)

>Description:

All testing so far done with boot floppies.

Kernel recognizes CD-ROM drive at boot, but attempts to access it with
mount_cd9660 or dd fail with EIO.  The drive is not obviously
accessed, as indicated by the front-panel LED.  sysinstall reports
error 2 but finds the drive anyway, on its debug screen.

>How-To-Repeat:

Construct system, boot from boot floppy, run fixit, try and use
CD-ROM...

>Fix:
	
None, but I'm willing to help with testing et al-- the system is a
hacktoy.  I may be willing to toss the CD-ROM in an appropriate
direction if needed (btw, I live near Boston, despite the hostname).
