Hi,

I'm having a little trouble using the "virtual media" function of
Dell's PowerEdge R-series (R710 in this case) iDRAC6 under FreeBSD
(7.1, 8.0).  This is presented as /dev/cd0, a USB/"SCSI" device, I
guess.  This is in the dmesg buffer when I boot up the existing 7.1
installation with the virtual optical drive mapped to the 8.0-RELEASE
amd64 DVD image:
We're having some similar issues with our older PowerEdge 1850s (DRAC4). Things were alright on 6.3-RELEASE, but now there is a large hangup when trying to install 8.0-RELEASE:

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).

The DRAC Virtual Media and physical CDROM drives are probed like this in dmesg:
acd1: DVR <VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE/> at ata2-slave PIO3
acd0: CDROM <TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E/K.9A>

This is with the latest DRAC firmware available from Dell.
