Hi Greg, Try mount -t cd9660 -r /dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 because a cd actually does not contain an msdos file system, but a ISO9660 ditto. It works with wcd0a too, but I'm not sure it's quite as correct ;-) Also consult 'man mount_cd9660', but it's unfortunately pretty short... :( Regards, Palle gstevens@forsythemca.com wrote: > > I'm unable to successfully mount a CD-ROM (actually the BSD distribution, > disk 1, as MS-DOS) under BSD. > > 1) Boot sequence seems to have no trouble detecting the drive, its > characteristics, and status. > > 2) Per the Handbook I ran > > # sh MAKEDEV wcd0 > > after installing BSD.
