Anyone with exerience accessing hfs CD-ROMs? I have tried both hfs and hfsutils from ports, but I just can't seem to make the CD-ROM something I can mount and access. (I might just be missing some point and ending up looking foolish.) My assumption is that I simply am not specifying the CD-ROM drive correctly. See here using a freshly installed "hfsutils-3.2.6" from ports: >milux# uname -a >FreeBSD milux.ny.home 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #3: Wed Oct 31 >19:48:13 EST 2001 marius@milux.ny.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MILUX >i386 >milux# more /etc/fstab ># Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump >Pass# >/dev/ad1s1b none swap sw 0 0 >/dev/ad1s1a / ufs rw 1 1 >/dev/ad1s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 >/dev/ad1s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 >/dev/ad0s1e /disk1 ufs rw 2 2 >/dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 >proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 >milux# hmount /dev/acd0c >hmount: /dev/acd0c: size of medium indeterminable or empty (Input/output >error) >milux# hmount /dev/racd0c >hmount: /dev/racd0c: size of medium indeterminable or empty (Input/output >error) I get this, or a similar error in the hfs port as well as hfs-utils. It doesn't matter what Mac CD I use, as I have tried serveral. Heck, it doesn't matter if there is a CD-ROM in there or not. It never checks the CD-ROM drive at all. It returns immediately without any meda reads or blinking access lights. I assume I'm asking it to access the wrong device, yet don't know what else it _would_ be. Mounting a CD-ROM that FreeBSD can read natively otherwise works just fine. I can mount /dev/acd0c without a problem in other cases. What am I doing wrong? -Marius M.
