Dear Paul,
It's great to hear from you.
Thank you for a quick answer.
First of all, the device /dev/wcd0c exists, but NOT /dev/wcd0a. curious...
When I try to mount, it showed the following message;
pc-freebsd# mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom
mount_cd9660: /dev/wcd0c : Device not configured
Then, I looked in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, to find the 2 following
lines were
commented.
#option ATAPI
#device wcd0
OK, I made them uncommented and rebuilt the kernel. (2 hour job ... :(...
Hueee)
Wow.
I got the message that says
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0) : <SAMSUNG SHD-30560A (APRO-5) SSI>
wd0: 534 MB (1094688 sectors), 1086 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <GCD-R540/1.18>, removable, accel, dma, iordis
wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable
tray
wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked, lock protected
wdc1 not found at 0x170
Then as root, I typed
mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom
It WORKED !!!!!
Yesterday, I repeated the same thing, but at that time, I think I changed
too many
things in the GENERIC file, and once it's rebuilt, it wouldn't reboot at
all.
This time, with only the uncommenting the 2 lines gave me back the CDROM.
Thanks everyone and hope it helps Jamie as well.
