Aloha,
I cant find any How TO on writing the hardware devices into /etc/fstab
to mount and find how the DVD and CD players get connected.
Open the file in your favourite editor and add the lines according
to your needs, if this was the question. :-)
(This happens to be with a test box FreeBSD 10.* which has worked fine
other than that.) The BSD install I understand is also for FreeBSD 9.*
as well.
fd0, /floppy, acd0 /cdrom, acd1 DVD, do not come up although they are
in /dmesg list.
I thought FreeBSD would have removed the acd devices in favour of
the SCSI-backed cd device drivers?
If dmesg lists the devices as recognized, the required device files
should be present in /dev. Ye olde sysinstall did add them to your
first /etc/fstab, but you are free to add whatever you like manually.
For the purpose of installation, they shouldn't be needed. And I have
to admit that I've never actually seen them in one of the dialogs
in the installer - only the hard disk related things are in there.
The automatically generated /etc/fstab at least had them listed
(for sysinstall, not tested for bsdinstall).
However, modern HAL + DBUS combinations prefer not to have any
media devices listed in /etc/fstab, because they're doing the stuff
required on their own.
