From that point on, all I could get was the first fdisk screen, I had to reboot to do the installation. Minor problem, I know. I now have FreeBSD installed on 3 computers, none will mount the cd-rom drive as advertised. These are all "stock" installations, no kernel recompiles. "mount /dev/wcd0c /cdrom" gives "Incorrect super block" on all machines. The fstab file is identical on all 3 computers, the guy at tech support said it was right and should work. Computer configurations are: Packard-Bell P133 w/32mb ram, hd0 1.2 gb ide primary master - Win95 hd1 1.6 gb ide primary slave - FreeBSD cd0 atapi ide secondary master (wcd0c) No-name P133 w/64mb ram, hd0 3.7 gb ide primary master - FreeBSD cd0 atapi ide secondary master (wcd0c) No-name P200mmx w/128mb ram, hd0 4.1 gb scsi - FreeBSD hd1 4.1 gb scsi - FreeBSD cd0 atapi ide primary master (wcd0a) fstab says wcd0x FS type cd9660 in all. "mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0x /cdrom" works. Is a link to fstab missing somewhere? All installs were done with the 2.2.5 cd-roms from Walnut Creek. (What happened to Lynx? I found it on cd4, but the directory doesn't have much inside, and pkg_add fails.) Thanks, Mark Bitting
