Now, I found a book called "BSD 4.4-Lite CD-ROM Companion" which has all the documentation for using the system. There's just one little problem, how in the world do I see my CD-ROM drive? The book says to enter the command "mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/sd1a /cdrom" if your CD-ROM is on SCSI unit 1. My CD-ROM is on SCSI unit 5, how do I access that? I tried to type in the command as shown and I got an "invalid device" command. I use /dev/cd0a for the cdrom device. Thus: mkdir /cdrom # if you haven't done so already mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom Also, how do I access my floppy drives and (most importantly, so I can do a backup) my Tape Drive (HP DAT drive)??? (I have a Bernoulli too!) -- David A. Bauer I have a Wangtek SCSI-35 tape drive, and I access it via the /dev/rst0 device. E.g. to tar off /tmp to my tape tdrive: tar cvf /dev/rst0 /tmp
