freebsd stable - Dec 2008 - SATA CD fail.

I've got an HP DL-360 1U here that has a slim SATA CDROM.  I've (so far)
tried booting FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE and FreeBSD-7.1-BETA2.  I've tried both
rewritable media (my first choice) and write-once media.  The kernel loads
fine, but multiuser fails with "acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying" ...
twice, followed by "timed out".

I workarounded this by ejecting CD after kernel is loaded but before
probing media, then
installing from sysinstall via NFS from this CD inserted on nearby
with IDE CDROM computer.
