THe number of cdrom in /dev

[Me Me]

hi,
 I'm sorry to bother you. I know you probably got something better to do. So 
I'll just take a minute.
My system's been down for a while - anyway I wanted to add data from a cd, but 
the prompt reads can't have more than 32 cd devices or drives. I couldn't 
figure it out  tried alot. So now I'd like to take some of the devices out of 
the directory. However, I rm and they mostly return. I'm careful to keep 
those I see in the ref 4.2 book but do I have to change permissions or file 
types or should I use mv to another directory so I don't lose them 
permenetly? Cause I need a job and all I want to do is -- Can you belive this! 
practice SQL admin and database  --oh joy!
anyway if you've got an advisory or a fix for this and your not to annoyed 
please send it.
You guys do a great job I wouldn't miss this for nut'in.  Thanks and Happy New 
year.

Which program does show this message? Please explain what
you've done in order to get that text.

How many _actual_ CD drives does your system have? Just to
make sure this isn't the problem... :-)

FreeBSD's current /dev directory is a dynamical thing. It
gets populated automatically under the control of devfs
(at boot time) and devd (at run time) which control several
actions that can be taken.

 I have to change permissions or file types or should I use
 mv to another directory so I don't lose them permenetly?

Which OS version are you currently using?



 anyway if you've got an advisory or a fix for this and your
 not to annoyed please send it.

Just provide a bit more information so your problem can
be diagnosed. At the moment, I'm just guessing. :-)
