I have just recently loaded FreeBSD on my system and I'm trying to use
my SCSI cdrom. I tried -> mount -r -t mfs /dev/cd0a /cdrom , this seemed
to cause my reader to go busing for a second but I still could not access
the files on my cdrom when I went to the /cdrom directory. I even typed
mount and the list of mounted items did not show the cdrom. I've tried all
that I could think of, could someone please help me out.
my address is: gokings@netcom.com
thanks,
Russell Marrash
