Here are the results of the methods that were suggested for producing a
CD image. They all seem to fail at the same place because the resulting
file is the same size.

        # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cd1.iso
        dd: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error
        1440+0 records in
        1440+0 records out
 
        # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cd2.iso bs=2k
        dd: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error
        360+0 records in
        360+0 records out
 
        # cp /dev/cdrom /tmp/cd3.iso
        cp: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error
 
        # ls -l /tmp/cd*
        -rw------- 1 root root 737280 Sep 17 14:09 /tmp/cd1.iso
        -rw------- 1 root root 737280 Sep 17 14:10 /tmp/cd2.iso
        -rw------- 1 root root 737280 Sep 17 14:11 /tmp/cd3.iso

Thanks,
