I will show you my entry. As root, cd / then mkdir /cdrom (you can use /mnt but why not call it what it is). /dev/cd1c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 considering what you have said below, you might want to put /dev/wdc1 if that is what it shows up as when you boot. By putting the entry above (and don't forget to change /dev/cd1c to YOUR cdrom) you can then do as root, mount /cdrom and it's mounted. Don't forget to put in the cdrom first :-) and you will have to umount /cdrom to take out the cdrom. -lnb On Wed, 12 Apr 2000, Fred Lomas wrote: > that would help :-) > Ok, > it is a Toshiba laptop with a IDE CDROM in it I have even tried this > ./makedev from within /dev. but I get back makedev command not found I also > noticed when I boot it sees the CDROM as WDC1 toshiba removable 12x drive > XM 1202B/1635. any ideas, Im way green on all this stuff and trying to learn > as I go > > thanks! > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lanny Baron" > To: "Fred Lomas" > Cc: > Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2000 7:26 AM > Subject: Re: mounting a CD Drive > > > > It would be a big help if you gave info like, the type of cd (ide or > > SCSI) and if you are trying to mount it from the console or remotely via > > nfs or from a samba share. > > > > -lnb > > > > On Tue, 11 Apr 2000, Fred Lomas wrote: > > > > > can I get the proper command to mount a CDROM drive...please > > > > > > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > > > > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
