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...
