On page ii of the book (opposite the title page) you should read: Important notice A list of errata and addenda is available for this book on the first CD-ROM in the file /book/errata. The most up-to-date list is on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2. Please check these lists before reporting problems. > The other, how to mount a CD-ROM (Panssonic CD-ROM) and floppy?

With CD-ROMs, it depends on whether they're ATAPI or SCSI. Look on page 175. > Also I can see any files in my MS-DOS partions. Why and How? Look on page 213. You might also be interested to know that there is an index in the book, starting on page 1689.
