hello out there:

 i am having trouble accessing files and directories on mounted floppies
and cdroms. for instance, after mounting the cdrom, i can see the top level
with the ls command, but i cannot cd into any of the directories. when i
try, i get this:
"bin: No such file or directory."  this is true of the cdrom, floppy drive,
and zip drive. 
 i can access these drives by using the makedev command in the dev
directory (./MAKEDEV fd0), and then trying to get to the files and dir's,
but i have to do this every time i start freebsd. i'm pretty sure i
shouldn't have to do this.
 i putzed around in the kernal configuration file, but to be honest, i
don't really know what i am looking for. 

any suggestions?

-thanks
aaron
