-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Thanks you everybody for your help. I think I just figured out the problem. I'm still at home now, but I had another employee load a cdrom in the drive so I could continue to attempt to diagnose the problem. This time mount /cdrom worked perfectly. Here's my assumption: I must have attempted to mount the cdrom too soon after loading the cdrom in the drive. It's an old 4X SCSI Toshiba CDROM drive. Instead of giving me a device not ready error to the console (BTW, I just reviewed /var/log/messages where it DID give a NOT READY error from /kernel) it gave a device not configured error message. I assumed this was a problem w/ 2.2.5-R. My assumption was wrong. I apologize for wasting everybody's time looking for an answer. If I would have just taken an extra minute to review /var/log/messages, there would have been no need to post my original message. Here's my solution: 1. Always review the logs before posting a question! 2. Slow down and be patient with older equipment. FYI: This server was built from 'spare parts' (486DX33, 16 meg) as a development platform for our web server (which also runs FBSD: www.savi.com) Thanks again and I truly apologize. - - burton - - --------------- Burton Sampley bsampley@best.com or bsampley@haywire.csuhayward.edu PGP key available at http://www.best.com/~bsampley/pgp.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNHnb9nt2O8KJtMdBAQHFPwP8CvLPyXbuZytDnPtY4w3RB3eXOjIt5poL jJav1KCjAZ7Ct9rjIK57yIzMtzEhXin9F84l3qn0JxKwiRgrzUq3f2BWuuH0AKG+ 8kYKU2jsmay8Usm9sWHOKGf1lC11YfYM8WWtMNNhSCNchoPMZZGTn7WfVHpjexmm Cy/9KPeqK7w= =36R+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
