I'd like to thank every one who responded, and all those who were willing to respond but saw that they would be repeating information already sent. It turns out that the designation of the CDROM drive changed between versions 3.3 and 4.2 , and the only one I knew was the

Please send the response directly back to me, in addition to sending it to hackers , as the volume of mail to hackers is so great that I could very easily miss the response if it were only sent there. I just installed freeBSD 4.2 and found that I couldn't mount a CDROM even

HELP: Disk/file-systems are loused up

I started up my (version 3.3 ) freeBSD , and the first thing that I did was mount a MSDOS diskette and did a find on it (with -name "*hd*" ). I got three lines of output stating something like 'date error; month (14) out of range', then a long pause (during which I typed
