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 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
