>Description:

sysinst assumes the first cd/dvd drive is the one you booted the
install cd from.
Hence it offers the first cd/dvd drive, mount fails with
'medium not present' and sysinst let the user start the whole
install setup from the beginning.

Before sysinst offers cd device selection it should
a) probe for available cd/dvd drives
b) probe available cd/dvd drives if media is present.

Allow the user to select a cd/dvd drive with a media being present.

 AFAIK, sysinst doesn't care which drive is booted device.
 ("cd0a" is hardcoded in src/distrib/utils/sysinst/main.c)

 sysinst might able to check if booted device is CD-ROM and use it
 for the default cdrom_dev, but there is another problem to detect
 booted_device in CD boot case on x86 as filed in PR port-i386/39998.
 (See comments in sys/arch/x86/x86/x86_autoconf.c:findroot() for details)

 Probably we have to add some new parameters in bootinfo
 to indicate volume label or signature of booted ISO as
 disklabel/dkwedge for harddisk.

 Correct.

 The problem is solved for i386 style CDs w/o md root image - if / is a
 cd9660 filesystem, sysinst just used the already mounted CD.

 But amd64 still uses md on /.

 I'd rather avoid such magic and probe the device for media being present
 (i.e. make sysinst gracefully deal with a wrong selection instead of mount
 failing).

 Log Message:
 Do not bother to ask the user for CD details (like device name or path
 on the CD) if we can find CDs (i.e. media, not drives) automagically
 and check the standard paths on it.

 If we find multiple CDs, offer a menu to select showing the volume
 name. If something goes wrong, fall back to the manual input method.

 In typical installs this makes us just proceed with extracting the sets
 after selecting "install from CD/DVD", w/o any further interaction.

 As a side effect fixes PR 43012.

 sysinst detects the correct CD/DVD and uses it.

 However on some machines where the CD can only
 be mounted via cd?d (rather cd?a) sysinst fails
 to detect the CD/DVD.

 Please explain and give more details why you would need to mount the raw
 partition.

 Background: this should not be a proerpty of the machine, but of the image
 you run sysinst from - or it would point to a bug in generation of the
 default disk label, which is partly arch dependend (i.e. sparc64 and sgimips
 do some magic, but those CDs just work).

 If you are using a custom image, please provide a copy.

 This might be the case.

 set_geometry() in
 sys/arch/i386/stand/lib/biosdisk_ll.c

 always returns 0 but the callers don't expect this behaviour.

 So I assume you are using NetBSD/i386 - with which image do you have the
 problem?

 I am using NetBSD/amd64-current - bootloader is the same.

 Take an iso image from releng autobuilder. That's enough
 to reproduce.

 I'm pretty sure I installed an amd64 machine by booting from a -current image
 from the releng cluster just a few weeks ago, which worked flawlessly and 
 autodetected the CD just fine. Did this change recently for you?

 The main difference between amd64 and i386 (despite the identical bootloader)
 here is that the i386 CD has / on cd0a, which makes the probe for CD and
 sets void, while amd64 uses the built in md0a image, so has to realy find
 the CD.

 Can you boot the image into sysinst, use the utility menu to start a shell
 and show me the output of

    disklabel cd0

 (or other cd1, if cd0 does not work/has no medium) please?

 Thanks,

 Martin
