Did you install your system from cd? Just "cat /etc/fstab". There should be a line with the word cdrom in it. if this is true, you can simply type "mount /cdrom". if not, have a look if the directory mnt/cdrom exists. normally you have only a directory /cdrom. after you created the dir you can type "mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt/cdrom". if you are a bash user and you're using the filename completition, be careful. there mustn't be a slash at the end. Norbert -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Chris Singer [SMTP:csinger@workfire.com] Gesendet am: 18.Mai.1999 20:16 An: freebsd-questions Betreff: can't seem to get the CD ROM mounted. I have been having trouble with my version of FreeBSD 3.0, I can't seem to mount the CD ROM drive. I first tried using "mount_cd9600 /dev/wcd0c /mnt/cdrom" where wcd0c is the name of the cdrom device (this example is assuming the cd is the master device on the secondary chain) and /mnt/cdrom is the mount point you want to mount the cd at. The closest I have come to mounting the CDROM was using "mount /dev/wcd0c /cdrom" and I recieved the following message: mount: Input/Output Error I did notice that the CDROM spun the disk once before comming up with this error. I have checked the /etc/fstab file to make sure the entry for the CDROM is there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
