I've got the Walnut Creek FreeBSD CD (V1.0). My machine has a Mitsumi
CD, for which the probe function in FreeBSD is apparently broken (ie.
I cannot instalklk directly from the CD). A kind soul provided me with
a copy of the patched kernel which does recognize the CD, so I've made
a corrected boot disk. However, once I get FreeBSD up with the basic kit
on my hard drive, I don't know how to mount the CD to install the balance
of the disk. mount -t isofs /dev/mcd0 /mnt gives me an error. Is this
the correct syntax? What's the mount_isofs command for?
