After installation, I tried accessing the /cdrom directory and got an error message saying permission denied, I was logged in as root at the time so I saw this is a problem. I then tried editing /etc/fstab to see if changing the device worked. But I've tried all the devices that I thought might work. During bootup, I get a line that says wcd0 - 4168km/s etc. etc. I assume this is the cd drive, so I tried editing fstab to use both wcd0a and wcd0c, neither of which work. Any help please, Kevin On a small side note, where does the file .xinitrc go? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
