Subj:  anomolous behavior of FreeBSD 2.1
Apparently-To: questions@freebsd.org
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

     Platform:
       ALR 486DX-33  EISA  FAST SCSI-2  16MEG  SONY CDU-33A CDROM @ 0x320

     Observation:
       Despite an entry in /etc/fstab for the CDROM, the system will NOT
     automount the CDROM.  su'ing to root and entering <mount /cdrom>
     will mount the CDROM, and, thereafter, the device works fine?!

       I have noticed that on boot up, when a list of devices roll
     across the screen, that the CDROM (scd0) is NOT among the devices
     on the list.
