Yep, it means that you have to mount your CDROM manually (with just mount /cdrom). If you want to turn off the noauto option, simply change the flags field from 'ro,noauto' to just 'ro'. With that said, I don't think you want to take the noauto field out of the fstab for your removeable device (CDROM), otherwise you will need to have a CDROM in the drive everytime you boot the machine, or FreeBSD will complain about "some filesystems failed to mount" and drop you into single user mode. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre corperation.
