Hi, I just finished installing freebsd 2.2.7 (walnut creek cds) from the CDROM drive, and it worked fine. Now when I try to mount my cdrom (a generic IDE cdrom) I always get the same error. Here is an extract of one of my attempts (and failure): myname# /sbin/mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Device not configured I think I've narrowed down the problem to the fact that I do not see wcd0 being probed at bootup. Although in my custome kernel, I do have these two lines in my config file: =================== options ATAPI device wcd0 =================== I did do a /dev/MAKEDEV wcd0 (a suggestion often made in the freebsd.org archives) Also If I did a /dev/MAKEDEV wcd01, then in my /cdrom directory, I would find: rw* (* being every hdd slice <g> another adive often found in the freebsd.org archives) So after rebooting and trying the above, it still would not help. The cdrom is set correctly (jumperwise, and so on). I have been working on this all night and I am simply clueless. So like I said above, it must be a problem at the bootup.. but why would my kernel not probe the cdrom, even though it was set up right in the config file? So then I look at my floppy drive, which IS probed during bootup, but I do not find fdc0 in /dev. So then I tried doing /dev/MAKEDEV fdc0, and I get this error: bad unit for disk in: fdc0 If that would of worked I was going to set it accordingly in my /etc/fstab (even though I am unsure of the exact syntax) ... yet if the device is probed, yet I try to add it to /dev and it still does not work!?! Any and all help would be really appreciated Sincerely, A new and frustrated user To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
