I have a NEC CDR-510 internal CDROM drive connected to an Adaptec 1542Cf.
The drive is jumpered for SCSI2 operation.  I'm using FreeBSD 1.1R on a
486/66.  I've had a few problems using the drive, and I was wondering if
any of these were addressed by the next release (1.1.5) or -current:

	1.  The ISOFS driver doesn't recognize the 'AA' RockRidge
	    extension (I've actually patched the driver to add this
	    to the list of unknown extensions to suppress warning
	    messages).

	2.  `find' won't traverse directories.  I know I've seen
	    this mentioned somewhere, but it's not in the FreeBSD
	    or 386bsd FAQs.

	3.  Audio CD (CDDA) playing is flakey at best.  Using differnt
	    approaches to control the drive (from direct SCSI2 commands
	    to the cido ioctl's) has given me everything from music
	    to SCSI bus hangs to spontaneous resets.

Any information is apprecated.

Thanks,
