I have tried to mount a CD with two different drives. The drives are both detected by the SCSI card (AHA-1542C) and by FreeBSD 1.0 Release. The problems are these: With the standard Toshiba Drive I get the following at boot time: cd0a:not ready cd0a:can't get block size cd0a:drive empty There is a DOS based CD in the drive. When I mount it with mount -r -t pcfs /dev/cd0a /cd I get mount:device not configured I then tried an NEC Multispin drive. It wouldn't make it past the seek. It stayed with the drive for a long time trying to get the block size but couldn't quite grab it. Any suggestions will be appreciated on this one! ..Sal
