I am curious if anyone has a "HP, DVD Writer 840d"? If so, have you
experienced any problems?
The problem I am having is that when I try to mount it to /dev/cd0a or
/dev/cd0c, my machine
will completely freeze, requiring a reset. Additionally, when I installed
OpenBSD, it would
boot from the CD-Rom, but I could not install any file sets from the CD. I
had to do a ftp install.
I use drive enclosures, and I am able to use multiple drives and OS's, and
after installing PC-BSD
I could not access the drive unless K3B was using it, in which case I
had no
problem.
I can only deduce that the cd driver is not able to handle this device.
I am only asking for confirmation of the problem because I doubt there
is a solution beyond a rewrite of the driver source code. My machine specs
are as follows:
I have the same problem with:
"...
cd0 at scsibus0 targ 6 lun 0: <HP, CD-Writer+ 9200, 1.0e> SCSI2 5/cdrom
removable
..."
I experienced similar behaviour with a broken CD-ROM, maybe
the problem is with the media, not the CD-drive. Check with
some CDs. btw my device is Pioner.
