FreeBSD c239505-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Sat May 27 19:53:36 PDT 2000     root@c239505-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/kern052700  i386

>Description:
When updating to 4.0-STABLE, I remembered to create /dev/acd0c for
my CD-ROM, but forgot to create /dev/acd0.  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.
