I'm running FreeBSD-1.0-RELEASE on a system that has a Toshiba 3401 CDROM on an
Adaptec 1542C SCSI controller. At boot time the system recognizes my controller
and CDROM drive (and cd0 if a CD is present in the drive):
aha0: reading board settings, dma=5 int=11
aha0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
aha0 targ 0 lun 0: type 5(readonly) removable SCSI2
aha0 targ 0 lun 0: <TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3401TA0283>
cd0: cd present.[210230 x 2048 byte records]
What types of CDROM file systems are supported under FreeBSD-1.0-RELEASE?
I tried to mount a HSFS CDROM and the system choked. I had to push the reset button
to recover. I read the mount_isofs man page which says:
The isofs filesystem should support the original "High Sierra"
("CDROM001") format; it does not.
but do other people find that the system hangs if you try to mount an incompatible
file system?
Is anyone using xcdplayer in FreeBSD? Will it support the Toshiba 3401 drive?
I have a port which compiles and runs but it always exits after the call to
cdrom_get_curtrack() in cdrom_open() called from main().
One thing I noticed...I had to have an audio CD in the drive during boot, or
else when I ran xcdplayer the initial open of /dev/rcd0d would fail, saying
something like 'device not configured'. Should this be the case?
Are there any other SCSI CD audio players that run under FreeBSD?
