Re: install/41455: CD drive stalls during install

["Nino on NetBSD 4.0" <nbsdold%gmx.net@localhost>]

Indeed, I do see kernel messages when this happens. I do not remember them 
exactly, though. It was something like that the request timed out. I do not 
know the type of my drive - do you know any command whose output you would like 
to see in this regard?

Thank you for your help.
