I have read the other list post from 1999 and 1996 and I still have a
more unique problem ... I think :-)
Here is the information that I can give.
What I am trying to do:
Mount a second cdrom on my system. I have to "cdrom's". One is actually
a cdrw and the other a cdrom. The first (scsi id 4) is a Yamaha CRW4416S
the and according to the messages file in /var/log it is on cd0. The
second (scsi id 6)is a Toshiba XM-4601TA on cd1 again according to
messages file.
How I installed:
As I am new to freebsd, I didn't want to do the install with the entire
scsi chain connected. I figured it would be easier to "add" the devices
in later as most things are "late" bound and the kernel would have the
support already there. This means that I used the Toshiba to do the
install with. I have a SONY Tape drive and a JAZ drive also on the chain
(total of four devices). So I installed without the JAZ, Yamaha and Sony.
The I use an Adaptec 2940UW that the systems finds fine and mounts as
ahc0. Now is where the problem comes in. I can't seem to get the Toshiba
cdrom to mount. As I said, I looked at the previous posts/mail and see
that some have asked the same question and that the "answer" was to make
sure that there was device in the /dev directory. This is where my
confusion starts.
What's in my /dev:
cd0a
cd0c
scd0a
scd0c
What I am hoping to learn:
1) What is the designation that I am supposed to use for Toshiba cdroms?
Is it a cd for plain old scsi cdrom or is it supposed to be a scd for
sony?
2) When I mount the cd0a as follows I get the Yamaha:
mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0a /cdrom
When I mount the cd0c as follows I still (lost on this) get the
Yamaha:
mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0c /cdrom
Can someone explain this to me. This has me puzzeled. Shouldn't the
two DIFFERENT device actually be different? How would they point to the
same place. Am I supposed to make some sort of a slice for this? I can't
imagine that is what I am supposed to do but if it is can someone please
tell me how?
3) How do I get my Toshiba to "mount". Do I make an "even" mount device?
Like say cd0b? Or do I make a cd1 by doing: MAKEDEV cd1 in the /dev
directory?
Any help would be great.
