I'm having what i believe is a configuration error on my part, which is driving me crazy. I've got the device installed, it shows up in dmesg as /dev/acd1. I have an fstab entry for it as: /dev/acd1 /cdrom1 cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 i've tried commenting this line out with the below and it doesn't matter. In loader.conf i have: hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" i can mount a dvdrw with either: mount /cdrom1 or mount /dev/acd1 /cdrom1 and in either case it works fine. I can read dvdrw's with no problem. I'm using dvd+rw-tools 7.0 from ports. I'm trying to blank a dvdrw so i can rewrite to it. I'm using dvd+rw-format /dev/acd1 i've also tried dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/acd1 and in both cases i'm getting the error: /dev/acd1: unable to open: inappropriate ioctl for device Suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
