In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thanks Johathan, That works just fine, My error was that I thought I had to tell it to mount at /cdrom, so I was trying to use mount /dev/atapi1 /cdrom and it wouldn't give me permission. Your suggestion works just fine. I was just trying to make it too difficult.
