[-- Attachment #1 --] Long ago I installed FreeBSD 4.1 (This machine also has Win 98 loaded. I dual boot between Win 98 and FreeBSD without a problem.) This box has 2 CD-ROMs installed. 1. TEAC 524-E and a 2. Creative CDRW 4224. Everything seems to be working fine with FreeBSD except the problems I experience with the CD-ROM. When I try to mount the CD-ROM using these commands: # mkdir /cdrom # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0c /cdrom I get an error cd9660: Device not Configured. I used this command to find the CD-ROM device: cat /etc/fstab The "cat /etc/fstab" command lists only one cd-rom drive, which is: /dev/acd0c Another thing that I have tried during boot up, is prior to Unix loading I "break or pause" the boot up process by press the space bar. Type in the command: boot -c and then look at the config files in visual mode. As I look through the Storage active drivers I see my two CD-ROM devices listed under storage. Here is the info that it has: ATA/ATAPI Compatible Disk Controller Dev-ata0 IRQ- 14 Port-0x1f0 ATA/ATAPI Compatible Disk Controller Dev-ata1 IRQ- 15 Port-0x170 I then boot in the Unix O/S and search /dev for ata0 and ata1. They are not listed under /dev. Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I will do my best to provide any further information that you request but obviously I am a Novice when it comes to Unix. Thank you, Bryan [-- Attachment #2 --] x>", IPM.Microsoft Mail.Note 1 $ \ " # &
