Which program does show this message? Please explain what
you've done in order to get that text.

How many _actual_ CD drives does your system have? Just to
make sure this isn't the problem... :-)

FreeBSD's current /dev directory is a dynamical thing. It
gets populated automatically under the control of devfs
(at boot time) and devd (at run time) which control several
actions that can be taken.

Which OS version are you currently using?

Just provide a bit more information so your problem can
be diagnosed. At the moment, I'm just guessing. :-)
