Bye, Sven

If so, it is possible that the DVD is actually acd1. % grep acd /var/run/dmesg.boot Should tell you which device is which. You cannot mount audio CDs directly. You can mount Video DVDs, although some of the files will not be readable. Data CDs and DVDs should be readable in most cases. You might also want to make sure the device nodes are correct in /dev. You can do this by: # cd /dev # sh ./MAKEDEV acd0 -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755

I have a couple of questions: 1) Are you ROOT when trying to mount? 2) If not, have you changed your sysctl? That is located in 9.22 of the FAQ. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.html#MOUNT-CD-SUPERBLOCK Just curious.
