It shouldn't be. It should be "atapicd" for RELENG_4: device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives The above is the GENERIC default. It not only has to be "in the config" but has to be compiled into the kernel. The config is only used to build the kernel. Again, this is for the 4 series, not for FreeBSD 5 and up. > I do not yet understand /dev &/ MAKEDEV &/ files with the "c" attribute Obviously. Sysinstall writes a correct mount for the cdrom in /etc/fstab. Don't do that "mount -t" stuff, try a simple, "mount /cdrom" as root. Be sure to "umount /cdrom" before removing it. "device not configured" may very well mean the node in /dev is missing. Use "ls" to verify it exists. Otherwise: % su # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV acd0 Heck, just remake everything: # sh MAKEDEV all -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
