I had similar problems and am not at all sure why or that the changes I made fixed the problem, but it now works for me, at least for the ISOs I have made in the last couple of weeks. I haven't gotten to making my CD backup of my web page yet. The main thing I did was take out the '-s max' speed parameter and came up with this which works: /usr/sbin/burncd -v -f /dev/acd0 data FreeBSD62-disc1.iso fixate It makes a both bootable and mountable CD. Although I have used -s max successfully in the past, burncd stopped working when I went to FreeBSD 6.xx - could neither boot nor mount the resulting burned CDs. Taking out that parameter seemed to get it working again. > > Is burncd broken? Maybe, at least sort of?? Or is it my CD burner getting old? Except the problem showed up on all of the machines that I brought up to 6.xx. I doubt that all their Cd burners would simultaneously die at the same time. A couple are barely used and I don't really stress my main one all that much. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
