It was adc0 so I did "mount /dev/acd0 /cdrom" but did not work, and I noticed that there was no adc0 dev in the /dev directory. I then went into /dev and did "./MAKEDEV acd0" and silently got the command prompt back and so assumed all went well, but did not see acd0 listed in /dev and a "mount /dev/acd0 /cdrom" once again did not work. I was mounting the cdrom so I could get a port of Netscape Navigator, and since I could not mount it, decided to get Netscape from an ftp site. I therefore then cd /usr/ports/www/netscape47-navigator and did a make install and it printed that it was going to an ftp site to get it, and then a few more lines came up , and then a fatal error occured and the system rebooted. Now when I try to boot freebsd I does not make it through the boot process. Can anyone figure out what happend, i.e., what I did wrong, and how I can recover from this without having to reinstall freebsd.
