I copied my original fstab file in case I messed it up when I first read how to use fstab. I just verified that the original line in fstab was: /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 I am able to mount it from the shell, or using fstab with device acd0a or acd0c, but if I include the comma and noauto in fstab, it does not seem to mount my cdrom. Any other possibilities of what could be wrong with it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
