I believe this message stems from the line: options "CD9660" in your kernel config file. This option tries to mount a CDROM at boot time. Thus, if you don't have a CD in the drive... My drives work well so I've never researched the conditions on the "size" statement. However, you should have a similar line in /etc/fstab: /dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 which allows for: % mount /mnt/cdrom assuming you are root or have configured another user for appropriate group access. -chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
