Hello,

My CD/DVD player is recognised as follows according to dmesg:

acd0: DVD-ROM <Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-105S 0111> at ata0-slave
using PIO.....

When I try to run kscd it complains about an error on

/dev/rmatcd0c

What is this ?

If I use a console play like "cdplay" it works when I give it
/dev/racd0a
or
/dev/acd0a
as a device to use (which is what I would expect -- I think), 
otherwise it does nothing.

Can someone explain:
a) what is this rmatcd... device ?
b) how I persuade applications what my correct default device is ?

My relevant kernel configuration contains:

# ATA and ATAPI devices
device          ata
device          atadisk                 # ATA disk drives
device          atapicd                 # ATAPI CDROM drives
options         ATA_STATIC_ID           #Static device numbering

# uname -a
FreeBSD angel.raggedclown.intra 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #3:\
Tue Feb 12 22:19:10 CET 2002 \
toor@angel.raggedclown.intra:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ANGEL-S  i386

"man 4 ata" gives no clues...

Thanks.
