The kld gets autoloaded if the kernel doesn't have cd9660 compiled-in. The error message that is printed is misleading though, and gives the impression that cd9660 filesystem support is missing: cd9660: No such file or directory When mount(8) runs mount_cd9660, it gives it an argv[0] of the fileystem type i.e. 'cd9660'. That's where the cd9660 in the error message comes from. Maybe mount_cd9660 (and other mount_* programs) should provide a bit more information in the error message?

Re: Mounting a CDROM in freeBSD 4.2
I'd like to thank every one who responded, and all those who were willing to respond but saw that they would be repeating information already sent. It turns out that the designation of the CDROM drive changed between versions 3.3 and 4.2 , and the only one I knew was the designation of the CDROM drive for version 3.3 . I did a grep -i cdrom *.TXT on the files ABOUT.TXT INSTALL.TXT README.TXTTROUBLE.TXT ERRATA.TXTLAYOUT.TXTRELNOTES.TXT UPGRADE.TXT and found no mention of the designation of the CDROM drive, so I am glad that a couple of responders sent it to me. I would like to know how they found out this tidbit of information so I'll know where to look for it in the future. I would suggest that there be a man page listing all the drive designations ( CDROM , A , B [if one has it] , IDE [or other] drive D , etc. , SCSI drives ) and this man page should be referenced as a "SEE ALSO" in all the mount man pages . Possibly it could be like Greg Lehey's table 13.5 except that it should be more complete. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
