Configuration:
FreeBSD 4.6.2 with latest patches and all ports cvsupped as of a few
days ago. ATAPI CDROM.

I am in the process of ripping a large CD collection. Fidelity is
paramount. By all accounts, the ripper of choice for audiophiles is
cdparanoia. Unfortunately, according to their web page, there is no
FreeBSD port of cdparanoia, even though OpenBSD and NetBSD ports exist.

I therefore installed the Redhat Linux RPM of cdparanoia. The RPM
installed without errors and I am able to execute the Linux binary just
fine. However, cdparanoia seems to be unable to communicate with my
CDROM drive. Here is the error message:

--------------------
#./cdparanoia -vsQ

cdparanoia III release 9.7 (December 13, 1999)
(C) 1999 Monty <monty@xiph.org> and Xiphophorus

Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/acd0a is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
                /dev/cdrom is not a SCSI device

Checking /dev/hd0 for cdrom...
[... Trying a bunch of devices elided in the interest of brevity].

No cdrom drives accessible to root found.
---------------------

At this point, cdparanoia dumps core.

Now I have no idea what a "cooked ioctl" is and Google was of no help,
but I suspect that somehow the Linux emulation layer in FreeBSD does not
provide cdparanoia with a device it knows how to talk to.

Does anybody here have any idea how to fix/debug this problem?

Thanks in advance,
