I have been having trouble mounting my cdrom drive. I have tried using "mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom" and I get "cd9660 device busy". When I type "mount" to see what's been mounted, acd0c (or cdrom) does not show up. /dev shows the device "acd0c" (which I assume is the cdrom according to /etc/fstab) in the directory. Any help on this would be of great help! > > Please let me know if you need any more info, > > > Thanks for you help, > > Dave Melby > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Have blue screens given you the blues, go to www.freebsd.org for the cure.
