I don't know about "any" cd, but at least it happened with all the ones
I tried.  :-)  And these discs can be mounted without problems on my
other (non-NetBSD) machines.

It's a fresh install of a 2.0-snapshot, so I can't compare.  But it
happens both with the GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel and with the custom kernel I
just built.

No, it doesn't.  The console is frozen, and after a few seconds, it
stops replying to pings.  Hard reboot required.

I know.  But it's not the hardware, as it had previously booted and
installed from a FreeBSD-cd correctly.  

Btw, I just noticed it even happens when NO cd is in the drive, and I
try to mount it!
