Things were alright on 6.3-RELEASE, but now there is a large hangup when trying to install 8.0-RELEASE: We see ~ 30x of these in dmesg: acd1: WARNING - READ_TOC read data overrun 20>12 Followed by this in sysinstall: "The disc in your drive looks more like an audio disc than a FreeBSD Release" (1). The DRAC Virtual Media and physical CDROM drives are probed like this in dmesg: acd1: DVR <VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE/> at ata2-slave PIO3 acd0: CDROM <TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E/K.9A> This is with the latest DRAC firmware available from Dell.
