Bug 175055

This was a problem in 9.0 that cannot properly set and use cd name for ATA CD driver.

In 9.0-R, ATA CD/DVD driver is named as cd0 but installation still tried to mount acd0 for root "/" access. By manually mount cd0 for "/" partition, installation DVD will continue to boot then install the kernel.

In 9.1-R, neither mounting acd0 nor mounting cd0 will be succeeded, thus no way to install the system.

Since there is not way to install 9.1-R, I cannot dump the any message to show the failure, so a screen snapshot is attached in JPEG format.

Also, in release branch, the packages is pointing to package-9.0-release, not packages-9.1-release. The packages (built on Nov 27) on dvd1 image is even newer than the packages-9-stable (build in Oct). I have no idea what is going on in this release.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Install 9.1 over DVD RW drive.
Two different machines have failed for 9.1 installation. One is HP EliteBook 8460p laptop (screen snapshot was from this laptop -- 4-core i7), and the other one is 4-core AMD phenom 9600 with ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 motherboard + SONY DVD RW or ASUS DVD RW.

If my memory serves right, 9.0-R was able to install from a DVDROM drive. Because my do not have a DVDROM any more, there is no way to conform this.
