Hi,
  When I first tried installing FreeBSD (I did it several times before I 
got it right)I was able to use my cd-rom.  Now in this current 
insatallation I am unable to use it.
  On boot, matcd0c & matcd0 seem to load & see my cd-rom ok.  I tried 
running 'sh MAKEDEV matcd0' and 'sh MAKEDEV local matcd0' I'm out of 
ideas.  Either it gives me '/dev/rmatcd0c: Permission denied' or it will 
give me errors saying it could not open the drive and was unable to 
retrieve the disk size.
  Any ideas out there?
