what your suggesting is for 5.x mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mount cd9660: /dev/cd0: No such file or directory and yes /mount does exist and yes i do have permission to use it. note how earlier i posted the problem with /cdrom Giorgos Keramidas wrote: On 2004-12-15 09:43, Timothy Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: titan# mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mount cd9660: /dev/cd0a: Invalid argument Try without *any* partition name: titan# mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mount Since /mount is a non-standard name, you _did_ check that /mount exists as a directory right? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Prior to RELEASE 5.x default CD devices carried a 'partition' suffix of 'a' or 'c' but as of 4.x acd0a and acd0c were/are equivalent and correspond (I believe) to acd0 in 5.x.
