The fstab was correct. /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 The error message that resulted was singularly unhelpful. To wit: su-2.03# mount /cdrom cd9660: No such file or directory Note the lack of mention of /dev/acd0, which is what I needed. Doing it manually was no help, either: su-2.03# mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom mount_cd9660: No such file or directory >How-To-Repeat: Remove acd0, attempt a mount, and see how unhelpful the error messages are. >Fix: Update the error message code of mount or mount_cd9660, as appropriate. It should simply mention the full path name of the special device file it wants. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
