Hi all; I just put up a FreeBSD box this weekend (2.2.7-RELEASE). At this point, I seem to have only one real problem. I can only access my ATAPI CD-ROM drive under very certain circumstances. I have to cold-boot my computer with the CD-ROM that I want to look at in the drive. Warm-boots don't make a difference. If I do the cold-boot, then I can mount and umount until my heart is content--as long as I don't open the tray. As soon as I open the tray (the volume unmounted, of course) and close it again, I can't mount the volume. It does not matter if it is a different disc or the same one. It will not mount until I cold-boot. This gets old real quick! I have tried various forms of the mount command and the mount_cd9660 command directly. With the mount command I just get an obscure "cd9660: /dev/wcd0a: Input/output error" (I am doing this from memory). With the mount_cd9660 command I get a different, but equally obscure command. Something about not being able to find the first session. I then tried using '-s 0' with mount_cd9660 since that is what '-v' reported, but it still does not work. Any help would be appreciated.
