Ive tried variety of command line parameters to no avail. In fact, one of the emails said that all command line parameters don't really work, except -o, which is output. I'm trying to copy everything in /mnt to the cdrom. When using the linux mkisofs, it works fine -- sends things to the data bus, and so forth, but the cd doesnt even write. The one for fbsd (ported for fbsd) doesn't work... So where am I going wrong?
