   The subject gives it in a nutshell.  I am using a Philips CM206790 2X
   cdrom and a CM206 adaptor.   If anyone knows what this problem might
   be (and if there is a patch or fix for it), please share it.  

The problem is that the CM206 adaptor is simply not supported.  Install
by copying the bindist files to a DOS directory and using the standard
3 floppy install set (<foo>_ah.flp, filesys.flp, cpio.flp).
