My apologies. The company does not allow cdrom images except from
Windows.
I used the floppy image.
It turns out that the floppy img does not support this type of drive.

After asking the company to mount the cdrom image from their side, no
problems.

FWIW, if I did not see this information, sorry.
If this is worth the effort, it would be helpful to have this noted.

I mentioned my Samsung drive because my really quick search on the
mailing list only mentioned problems for this brand of drive having
interface problems. It was not a detailed search.

Happy to now have amd64 -current.
