For information on 'cd' type devices, look at: 1) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=cd&apropos=0&sektion=4 -- This man page contains information about SCSI CDROM Devices. 2) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&apropos=0&sektion=4 -- This man page contains information about ATAPI CDROM Devices. Hope this helps. -- Hiten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
