OK, makes sense -- even if the message is rather misleading (e.g., how about saying "no ISO9660 filesystem found in /dev/acd0c"?). > Some sort of multisession?

It's just -- ick -- Windows software install disk (3D Home Architect). I have a CD-less Thinkpad with WinDoze and FreeBSD, and typically install SW on the WinDoze side by mounting the disk on FreeBSD and exporting it with SAMBA. Has worked well enough I don't need a CD on the laptop. In fact, I did this just recently with TurboTax and it worked fine. As a test, I tried to mount the TurboTax CD the same as I always do and it failed with the same "Device not configured" message. That seems new since it worked fine a week or two back. I rebuilt my OS from nightly CVSupped sources a day before trying this, so I was wondering if something got changed. In this case, it's not a big deal -- the SW isn't that important. But come tax-time next year I'm not gonna be happy if I can't mount and install SW on my silly winDoze laptop. :-( Thanks for the help!
