I am a total newbie to Unix/FreeBSD. I posted earlier, but realized I hadn't done enough research on my problem. I am trying to access my CD-ROM drive. Here is what I've found: 1. In the KDE Control center, under Devices, I have: wdc1 at Ox170-Ox177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <ATAPI 40X CDROM/VER-4.00> etc. etc. acd0: drive speed 687-6875KB/sec, 128KB cache acd0: supported read types: CD-R, CD-RW, etc. etc acd0: Audio: play, 255 volume levels acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray acd0: Medium: no/blank disk inside, unlocked 2. Under Partitions, I have: /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 3. When I try "mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0c /cdrom" I get "cd96690: Input/output error" (/cdrom is where I'd like to mount it) Obviously the system knows the drive is there. Am I entering the command wrong? (If you have the time, please walk me through this step-by-step. Total newbie.) It's not mounted *already*, is it? I've tried going to the /cdrom directory and doing an ls with a cd in the drive--I get nothing. TIA.
