Now it complains: > > thanatos# mount /cdrom > cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Device not configured Hi, The config looks fine, but I think the CD doesn't have an ISO filesystem on it. The cd9660 drives looks for some 'magic' on the disk to see if it's in a readable format, if not then the device is not configured. > > What exactly is this error message trying to tell me?

Am I missing something? Being stupid? Indeed, a is reserverd for root, b for swap, c the whole disk and d-z are user defineable. Nothing has changed, and you certainly don't seem stupid to be :) > > Thanks. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message Hope it's helpfull, Gr, -- Axel Scheepers UNIX System Administrator email: axel@axel.truedestiny.net a.scheepers@iae.nl http://axel.truedestiny.net/~axel ------------------------------------------ Paranoia is simply an optimistic outlook on life. ------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
