the "c" in "acd0c" says it is the "c" partition on acd0. By default, the "c" partition is the entire disk. So yes, if acd0 exists, acd0c exists. And just because it is in /dev, doesn't mean it actually exists. It just means that if it did exist, you would have a way to refer to it. But you are confusing me. I thought you couldn't mount your CDs? Are you having problems with data CDs, or only music CDs? > Weston > > On Wednesday 18 September 2002 04:03 am, Anish Mistry wrote: > > On Tuesday 17 September 2002 06:04 pm, Weston M.

If that works, then as far as I know, how you mount a music CD depends on what program you are using to play the music. It might be expecting a link that isn't there, e.g. /dev/cdrom may need to point to /dev/acd0 - Bob > > > > > > Weston To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
