Hi Scott, Thanks for that - yes I am truly guilty of not ReadingTFM! Didn't help me much though, it said: "This usually means that the CDROM drive thinks that there is no disk in the tray, or that the drive is not visible on the bus. It can take a couple of seconds for a CDROM drive to realize that it has been fed, so be patient" Hmmm, what now? Anyway, it's a bit strange - I just mounted the same CD in question under Linux (same machine - just different hard disk) no problem, what gives? As frustrating as it is I WILL NOT GIVE UP! ; ) Maybe use a later version, FreeBSD 4.4 instead of 4.2.
