I have a cd writer on my FreeBSD 4.4 Machine. I'm new to FreeBSD and have tried using the burncd command that is in the documentation. However, I do not think the CD Burner is located on /dec/acd0c because it says no such file or directory is located.
The command I am using is # burncd -f /dec/acd0c data /home/www/directory fixate What I want to do is copy a whole directory and burn it to my cd-rom Can someone just give me a nudge to show me what I may be doing wrong, command or location wise.

Perhaps you can make a script so that after the dump/restore.. it'll copy /etc/fstab.new to /mnt/root/etc/fstab - the fstab.new file is basically the device names of the new device. The next boot thing is easy. If you've ever had more than one HD on the machine with OSes on both the first and second HD's and used FreeBSD's Boot Manager... The first thing FreeBSD will show is the BootManager which goes something like this: F1 FreeBSD F5 FreeBSD If you don't do anything, it will always boot with F1 which is the first drive. F5 is the second drive, I don't remember the exact name as it varies. So if you hit F5, it will use the /etc/fstab on the second drive as it will use that drive to boot up.
