Hi,

I recently decided to make the move from linux to freebsd. In order to do
this I bought a copy of freebsd 4.5 on dvd from the supplier listed in the
handbook. The installation was flawless except that I couldn't mount the
second dvd (containing the complete ports collection). I tried:

mount /cdrom
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0a /cdrom
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom

and several other commands all returned:

cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Invalid Argument

(or similar). This same error happens for all dvd's (including the one I
just installed from - which sysinstall can still access to add packages
and distribution sets!). Ordinary CDROMs seem to work fine in the
same drive with the same settings.

I have seen this problem reported in the archives for this list (I also
have the same drive - DVS DVD-ROM) but the question was not
answered (there was only some talk of not being able to mount
UDF - which this isn't since freebsd install worked perfectly).

Windows also managed to read both dvd's perfectly so it can't be
a problem with the disc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pete
