I installed BSD 3.2 with no problems from the 4 volume CD set. I then decided Id like to look through the CD myself and try to mount it, how...... I found the syntax (man mount etc)and wanted to mount it on /cdrom but was unsure of 'special'. Anyway, grep`d FAQs and Handbook in vain for any answers. In the end I ran /stand/sysinstall, changed to a different console did a df and found what I was looking for /dev/wcd0c (I think). wcd0c does not appear in my dmesg, where was I meant to find the info? For a newbie should not getting a cd to work be relatively easy or at least documented in the handbook or FAQs? Thomas Cleghorn<---Not too pathetic sounding I hope.
