Hi, Well, yesterday the inevitable finally happened: I lost my 'custom-kernel-compilation' virginity. :) Indeed, when trying to burn a DVD using growisofs I quickly found out (tnx Google!) that I had to add the atapicam device to the kernel. This was done based on what I read here: http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=152&goto=nextnewest http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-November/026484.html Now, similarly to what is described in those threads, on my box the DVD is now also solely accessible through /dev/cd0 instead of /dev/acd0 (what it previously was). Does anyone have any idea why this is? Also: I just changed the entry for this device to cd0 in /etc/fstab such that the command "mount /cdrom" works again. Cheers! Olafo
