I've installed FreeBSD on lots of machines and never had this problem: mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom mount_cd9660: /dev/cd0a: Device not configured the cdrom has always just *been* there, available for mounting, on other machines, I've never had to do anything special. This machine is like all the others, it's a SCSI cdrom hanging off an Adaptec 2940UW. Installation was also weird. The machine booted off the cdrom and FreeBSD's installation program ran fine until I selected cdrom as the installation media. At this point, it told me it couldn't find the cdrom! So I just walked over, mounted it on one of the other machines and installed over NFS. Could the "lack" of a cdrom at installation make FBSD think the cdrom is not usable? This machine is my personal workstation and is currently multi-booting DOS/Win31, WinNT, OS/2, and now FreeBSD 2.2.5. Only FBSD can't see the cdrom, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem. Help?
