Morning Gordon- In regards to "forcing" a CD to umount. The problem you are having IS a GOOD thing. If you are in the /cdrom directory you are using it and if you try and force dismount while you are still using it bad things happen. Always 'cd' out of the /cdrom dir before trying to umount. Unless you have a process accessing the /cdrom , changing dirs to anything else should allow you to umount it.

How can I get the normal method to work, just using the mount command, not mount_cd9660? Also, I tried to do a RedHat thing on the FreeBSD box, symbolically linking /dev/cdrom to /dev/acd0c dev and it also fails. How could I do this in FreeBSD. One last question, how can you force a CD to umount? Sometime the device comes up and says busy. Is there a way around this. This usually happens when you are in the /cdrom/ dir and cd to home dir useualy fixes this, but not always.
