Ah yes, that is of course correct; if no memory disk is in use yet, /dev/md0 will be the first unit you get, otherwise you can always specify a custom unit. You could even use the following, leveraging the fact that mdconfig will print the partial device name of the unit automatically assigned - you just need the /dev/ prefix to get the full path: # mount -o ro -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -a -t vnode -f example.iso` /mnt Still, you'd need to find out _which_ unit you've been using so you can use mdconfig -d with the correct number. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
