Is it always on bindist.bc and on or various random files? What type
of CD-ROM drive?
I've got a Mitsumi FX-001D double-speed CD-ROM and FreeBSD handles it
randomly (I'll submit the pr when I get a chance to examine the
problem in greater depth).
By randomly, I mean cat /cdrom/srcdist/srcdist.* starts failing with
``Input/output'' errors starting at a random file. It usually gets
through the srcdist.a*'s okay. The console shows ``media changed,''
which is, of course, wrong.
Remounting the cdrom sometimes fixes it the problem. A more reliable
solution was to extract the files I wanted from the CD-ROM while under
MS-DOS then mount the MS-DOS partition under FreeBSD. You might want
to try that.
