I have a Sony CRX100E CD-RW drive as master on my secondary IDE. The FreeBSD install certainly had no problem with it when I installed from this drive. What the **** are the proper syntax & arguments to get mount to mount this drive? I've tried more variations than you wanna know, and whatever I do, I either get 'invalid argument' or 'device not configured' or 'incorrect super block'. Which thing in /dev corresponds to this device?
