I got a problem from the Optical Disk Driver- It started not 
working at all.

When I insert an optical disk after selecting 'mount' menu(the system  has s/w 
release 1.0), the system eats it up.

When I tried to initialize an optical disk, the following messages it gave;

        (from system)   Please insert new disk for volume 0
                        (Press 'n' key if disk is not available)

        (I inserted disk)
        (then system sent out this message;)
                        od0?: driver command failed(busy timeout #1) block 0
                        phys block 67614344 (4230045:0:8)

        (system stucked here and I had to use command-tilde to exit this stuck)

The hard disk works very fine.
I appreciate it if someone  there could give me some help to get 
around this problem. 

Thank you in advance.
