I just installed FreeBSD 4.1 via CD-ROM. It turned out that the installation process didn't recognise my DVD-ROM as a CD-ROM device, so I swapped a regular CD-ROM in there for the duration of the install. After the install I put the DVD-ROM back in it's place. The error the DVD-ROM gets when FreeBSD boots is: identify retries exceeded It seems as though FreeBSD can't determine what the DVD-Rom drive is. My /etc/fstab is below: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s3b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s3a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s3f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s3e /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 When I try to do and 'ls' of /cdrom it comes back with nothing (there is a disk in the drive). I've also tried mount /cdrom but I get the error: cd9660: device not configured Is there anything I can do to get this to work? Thanks. _____________________________________________________________________________ http://geocities.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Australia & NZ GeoCities - Build your own Web Site - for free!
