I just received the new FreeBSD 1.1 cdrom and have noticed a serious
problem. Is it mine or the cd's?

when trying to access *some* files, I get the following behavior:

zellis> cd /mnt/filesys/usr/src/sys/i386/isa
zellis> file ft.c
ft.c: file: read failed (Invalid argument).

and in the syslog:

cd0: illegal request

I've noticed that files with large inode numbers (>200000) exhibit
the problem. other files (with small inode numbers) do not have
the problem.

I have a NetBSD 0.9 system and a toshiba scsi cdrom drive. I've
mounted the cdrom using both the "a" and "d" partitions with
identical results.
