Ahh... Right. Thanks.

Yup... I generally recommend the -t parameter as opposed to the mount_*. For this purpose, they are functionally equivalent anyway. > mine was automatically configured for mount /cdrom. how nice :) # echo '/dev/acd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 ' >> /etc/fstab ..should do the trick (make sure those are TABS separating the fields, not spaces. I've used spaces here for ease of formatting). Then a mount /cdrom will pull the entry from fstab. Similar entries are also convenient for occasional/periodic NFS mounts, and floppies. -- Ryan Thompson Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
