> I am trying to mount my cdrom drive and every time I give > the command: mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom > it comes back with the error: cd9660: device not configured Try: mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom Also, why not create (as root) the following two files? in /usr/local/bin create a file called "cdin" with two lines #!/bin/sh mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom Then: chmod 744 /usr/local/bin/cdin Now you can insert a CD, type "cdin" and voila. Alternatively, to unmount the sucker.. in /usr/local/bin create a file called "cdout" with these 3 lines: #!/bin/sh umount /cdrom cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c eject Then: chmod 744 /usr/local/bin/cdout Now you can type "cdout" and voila (taken from freebsd cheat cheats site I believe http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/) -gf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
