 marks everywhere and as it loads the words on the screen are all misspells as do the 
command's when I type them in, they still give the expected response thought. I cannot 
figure this out do you have any Ideas for me.?

Sysinstall failing to install from CD-ROM

2004-05-25 Thread putnam
I was trying to use sysintall to install additional packages. When specifying the 
FreeBSD CD as the source, I get the following error:

Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Input/Output Error (5)

Whenever I cat /dev/acd0 or try to mount the device to /cdrom I get the same error.

 What am I doing wrong?


thanks

PROBLEM: Error Mounting CDROM

AT BOOT SYSTEM DISPLAYS: acd0: CDROMSamsung SCR-3232] at ata1-master PI04

THE COMMAND THAT I USED TO ACCESS IT WAS: mount /dev/acd0
WHICH RETURNED: CD9660:/dev/acd0: Input/output error

I checked  /dev to insure that the device was there I checked the kernel, tried to add 
option SCSI_REPORT_GEOMETRY , obviously the CDROM is ATA which I now know after 
checking the boot log.

What are FLAGS?

cd rom probs

2004-05-18 Thread putnam
I have been having trouble using my cd rom
The measage I recieve is
cd9660: /dev/acd0: Input/Output error

I took some advice I recieved here and rebuilt the kernal I thought that maybe the 
problem was that the Delta Cdrom was reporting to the OS so I added the line 
SCSI_REPORT_GEOMETREY but when I try to build the kernal that option comes up as an 
error any thoughts out there
thanxs to all of you the help has been great so far.

ATAPI CD-ROM, UNIXNEW GUY

2004-04-06 Thread putnam
I have installed bsd on an a pentium II machine and using the cd-rom. As of now it is 
no longer working properly I cannot finnish installing all of the cd's I purchasd. The 
cd-rom is 40x Delta I think model #OPC-K105/5 ST1. I am an art studdent with very 
littl knowledeg of computers but am pursuing a degree in architecture and would really 
like to get the most out of learning this OS as I am sure that any knowledge of the 
subject will aid me in the futer. I am looking into using AutoCad, MAYA, Photoshop. I 
would really like to know how to go about   setting up a unix inviornment that 
supports those programs, if possible, and has  rendering capabilities for the MAYA 
inviornment posibly linking multiple computers together in a renderfarm. I am looking 
into the G5 but apple doesnt support Autocad as of yet and to my knowledge OSx is a 
unix os. Thank you for your time. Joel Putnam
