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.
