If the CD is a standard computer CD (with an iso-9660 filesystem), you should be able to just do this: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom You seem to be not sure as to whether your CD-ROM is /dev/cd0c or /dev/acd0c. I believe SCSI CD-ROMs are /dev/cd0c, while ATAPI CD-ROMs are /dev/acd0c. You can `cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep cd` to confirm what device to use for CD. -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
