I don't have an answer for you, but I preordered my 2.8 CDs, and when I tell
the install what cd device to access the kernel started spitting out errors.
(I don't remember what they were, its been a while now.) I could then eject
the CD and put it back it while the kernel was screaming its head off and
then it would go fine. In addition, my src.tar.gz file does not extract
correctly, and it utterly refuses to extract ports.tar.gz. At work we had
two sets of 2.8 CDs preordered as well, and both of those work fine.

Maybe its a problem in the CD creation?
