   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.

Hmm, I've been getting a few segmentation faults from `file'.  I havn't
yet looked into it, but it's repeatable.
