Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 08:42:32 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.1960.3) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On my new (last night) FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE box [PII-233x2, 128 Mb RAM, 4G IDE HD, IDE (ATAPI) CD] I have been unable to 'mount /cdrom' as root. Trying to do so has resulted in the following error message: cd9660: Input/Output error This is the same cd drive I used to install (flawlessly) with. Reading the mailing list archives, I see that the response from the list to this error is to the effect of "You have a flaky cd drive". So, does this mean I have to replace the drive? Or is there a less drastic solution? I can post dmesg output if that would help.
