This refers to the fact that the device does not contain an ISO-9660 formatted media. > Apparently typing /sbin first made it give me a different error message, > I'm just trying to find hwo to configure a drive now. would > /stand/sysinstall work for this? No. The "device is configured" via the /etc/fstab file that controls how to mount the disc, e. g. # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# # ----------- --------------------- ------ ------------- ----- ----- /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 This will "expand" your command % mount /cdrom to something like % mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /cdrom Also, keep in mind the permissions: You need +r for the device, and you have to be the owner of the mount target directory. Furthermore, users must be allowed to mount media which is controlled by the setting vfs.usermount=1 that is to be put into /etc/sysctl.conf. But as I mentioned before, you cannot mount an audio CD; imagine that it's "technically" impossible. :-) (Of course, this says nothing about that you cannot copy audio tracks, convert them into OGG/Vorbis or duplicate discs 1:1, which is ALL possible.) A final note: I see you're using /dev/cd0 for your CD drive. What about using acd0 instead (if it's an ATAPI drive)? You can specify /dev/cd0 as $CDROM if you've got a SCSI device, but then, due to permissions, I think you need to set proper access rules for the xpt device, too. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
