That's probably not the issue, but worth mentioning, even if most people are more observant than I am.

Is it an IDE ATAPI CDROM or is it scsi? If it is scsi, you may need to use a different device name such as /dev/scd0c. (I am assuming this is where scsi cdroms are at, but I dont have scsi on my box). Also, in the /dev dir if you do 'ls -l cdrom' you will see that it is a symlink to the real device. On my box I get: bash-2.05$ ls -l cdrom lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Jul 2 2002 cdrom - /dev/racd0c (snip) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Hi Kevin, To test what? Instead of Error when tryign to mount cd as a subject, don't you think that the fact that the CD is actually WinXP was kinda pertinent to the problem? Try previous suggestions with a *normal* data CD, if you please. Regards, Stacey A Windows install CD of any version I can think of should mount just fine as an iso9660 data cd. This is a valid test, unless M$ is doing something funky to their CDs that I don't know about. Is this CD usuable in other operatings systems and/or on other hardware? I think the original poster is just tripping over mount(8) liek we all do the first time around .. :) If it still doesn't work post your dmesg output so we can see what type of CD player you have. # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
