CD-ROM won't mount

2012-09-24 Thread Donald Ginn
I bought a new laptop, and installed OpenBSD 5.1 on it next to Windows 7. I installed from the official OpenBSD 5.1 installation disks, using the laptop's CD-ROM drive. That worked well. But now, when running OpenBSD, I can't mount the CD-ROM drive, or read from it. Can anyone provide me

Thanks for the replies. You say, there have been problems with NAT-T but these have been fixed. I am on openBSD 5.2 current and have problems with NAT-T to cisco, which I have not had when I was on openBSD 4.7. The problem is, as seen in the debug output from isakmpd, that isakmpd

I'm not sure if it's available for OpenBSD, but there's dd_rescue as well, which I gather substitutes blocks of zeros for any unreadable sectors. That would allow you to create an image file with some holes filled in with zeros. You then would be able to avoid I/O errors by working against that
