I've send a email before about this[1], but a situation is not changed
until now. My friends does confirm the situation recently[2], so I
send a email again...

***

It seems that recent (as of May/2001) 5-current kernel cannot mount
CD9660 filesystem (usually CD-ROM) as a root filesystem. The kernel
behavior is a little bit different both ATAPI CD-ROM and SCSI CD-ROM.

- ATAPI CD-ROM (using 440BX/i815 motherboard, on-board IDE)

As said before[1], kernel try to mount but failed.

        Mounting root from cd9660:cd0a
        setrootbyname failed
        iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp
        Root mount failed: 6
        Mounting root from cd9660:acd0a
        setrootbyname failed
        iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp
        Root mount failed: 6
        Mounting root from cd9660:wcd0a
        setrootbyname failed
        iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp
        Root mount failed: 6

No matter the kernel can mount root filesystem or not, it seems that
src/sys/vfs_conf.c needs modification, no 'wcd' anymore:)

- SCSI CD-ROM (using AHA-2940UW as SCSI HA)

Unfortunately, kernel panics when it try to mount CD-ROM.

        Mounting root from cd9660:cd0a
        Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
        fault virtual address   = 0x28
        fault code              = supervisor read, page not present
        instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc025f4e7
        stack pointer           = 0x10:0xc05cedb4
        frame pointer           = 0x10:0xc05cedd8
        code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                                = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
        processor eflags        = interrupt enables, resume, IOPL=0
        current process         = 0 (swapper)
        kernel: type 12 trap, code = 0
        Stopped at dsioctl+0x3f:  movl  0xc(%eax),%eax

As a result, mounting CD9660 filesystem (formaly CD9660_ROOT) is
broken in recent 5-current.

Any clues?

P.S.: A procedure to make a CD-ROM itself is shown in my previous email[1].
