Hi

Using mount_CD9660 method works, but the other method fails every time.

How can I get the normal method to work, just using the mount command, not
mount_cd9660?

Also, I tried to do a RedHat thing on the FreeBSD box, symbolically linking
/dev/cdrom to /dev/acd0c dev and it also fails.  How could I do this in
FreeBSD.

One last question, how can you force a CD to umount?  Sometime the device
comes up and says busy.  Is there a way around this.  This usually happens
when you are in the /cdrom/ dir and cd to home dir useualy fixes this, but
not always.

Gordon
