I have successfully installed FreeBSD 2.0.5, but the only failing I have
is that I can't mount my CDROM reader.

I am using an Adaptes 1542CF controller, and a Toshiba TXM4101 CDROM
drive.  The Adaptec obviuosly works, because it talks fine to my SCSI
drive.  When I attempt to mount the CD drive I get "device not
configured".  I am using the command:

   mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom

Clearly, I am doing something wrong.  What is it?

Also, I checked the kernel config file, and there's all sorts of stuff in
it about the CD drivers, but I honestly don't know enough about building
the kernel to know if it's the right stuff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paul.
