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 actuall= y=20 a cdrw and the other a cdrom. The first (scsi id 4) is a Yamaha CRW4416S= =20 the and according to the messages file in /var/log it is on cd0. The=20 second (scsi id 6)is a Toshiba XM-4601TA on cd1 again according to=20 messages file. How I installed: As I am new to freebsd, I didn't want to do the install with the entir= e=20 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=20 support already there. This means that I used the Toshiba to do the=20 install with. I have a SONY Tape drive and a JAZ drive also on the chain= =20 (total of four devices). So I installed without the JAZ, Yamaha and Sony= .=20 The I use an Adaptec 2940UW that the systems finds fine and mounts as=20 ahc0. Now is where the problem comes in. I can't seem to get the Toshiba= =20 cdrom to mount. As I said, I looked at the previous posts/mail and see=20 that some have asked the same question and that the "answer" was to make= =20 sure that there was device in the /dev directory. This is where my=20 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= ?=20 Is it a cd for plain old scsi cdrom or is it supposed to be a scd for=20 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=20 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= =20 imagine that is what I am supposed to do but if it is can someone please= =20 tell me how? 3) How do I get my Toshiba to "mount". Do I make an "even" mount device= ?=20 Like say cd0b? Or do I make a cd1 by doing: MAKEDEV cd1 in the /dev=20 directory? Any help would be great.
