I've been looking for WorkMan (or any other working CD player
program) for BSDI 2.0.1.  I couldn't seem to make the one on
ftp.bsdi.com work properly.  It claims there is no CD in the
drive and immediatly gives up.  I've been trying to use /dev/rsd0a
(my CD is the first device on my SCSI chain).  Yes, I can mount
data CDs without difficulty.  The CD player is an old Toshiba and
one of the most reliable CDROM drives I've ever seen.  My SCSI
adapter is a 1542CF and my harddrive is IDE. Has anyone else
had better luck with this?  Am I doing something really stupid?

I did try to recompile the program, but I seem to be missing the
library containing the functions defined in <sys/cdrom.h>.  I have
the binary-only BSDI distribution.  Is this something you only get
when you buy the source code?

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
