All:
6 years out, it looks like cd(4)/ata(4) still has problems
reading virtual CD media in the Dell PowerEdge DRAC4 LOM.
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).
acd1: DVR <VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE/> at ata2-slave PIO3
acd0: CDROM <TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E/K.9A>
Of course, the BIOS is able to read from the disc and load mfsroot.
Maybe a sysctl tweak is needed at loader(8).
It just seem like, given the market penetration of PowerEdge 8th gen,
this would be behind us.
Latest DRAC firmware.
