That is, /dev/cd0c? That works for me. One of the gotchas of the emulation is that if you do a linux ls of /dev, you don't see what's in /dev. Looking for /dev finds /compat/linux/dev which does not have much stuff in it. But the contents of a directory (when it exists in /compat/linux) is not a complete list of what files can be open()ed there because it will fall back to looking in the matching outer dir. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > ``The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.'' > -- Tom Waits > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
