Hi all amd users!
Thanks to you all, who fiddle out this feature, but I didn't understand, why
it's not possibel in the 'normal' way, why not mount it consistently to
/host/odie/cdrom? Now it's located /cdrom for me, a nfs mount from another
machine appears as /host/troll/cdrom. Shouldn't this be changed in amd?
Here my config files:
amd.map:
--------
/defaults opts:=ro,soft,intr,grpid,nosuid,timeo=50
troll_cd0 type:=nfs;rhost:=troll;rfs:=/cdrom;type:=nfs
odie_fd0 type:=ufs;opts:=rw;dev:=/dev/fd0
odie_fd1 type:=ufs;opts:=rw;dev:=/dev/fd1
odie_cd0 host==odie;type:=program;\
fs:=/cdrom;\
mount:="/sbin/mount mount /cdrom";\
unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /cdrom"
start of amd:
-------------
amd -a /amd -c 1800 -k i386 -d physik2.uni-rostock.de -l syslog /host
/etc/amd.map
fstab:
------
/dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
I use FreeBSD-2.1.5
Thanks and regards
Lars
