I use a mitsumi drive and have to enter mount_cd9660 /dev/mcd0a /mnt (or /cdrom) >Also, how do I access my floppy drives mount /dev/fd0a.1440 /mnt (or mount_msdos....) and (most importantly, so I can do a backup) my Tape Drive (HP DAT drive)??? (I have a Bernoulli too!) I guess that for the tape youould need some /dev/st?? [I'm new to FreeBSD and am just trying to share my experience ... If this is wrong or there is a better way, please let me know...] Paul Vinci
