Spiller) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: floptical/CDROM problems Date: 23 Aug 1994 17:47:24 GMT Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 25 Message-ID: <33dcnc$rqk@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: rich.eecs.berkeley.edu Hi - I have been having some probems getting my cdrom and floptical drives to work with FreeBSD - they both work fine with DOS. (and both are SCSI). I found no reference to flopticals in the FAQ, and was wondering if anyone had successfully gotten one working? At bootup, if I have a floptical in the drive, the system hangs. If I boot up with no disk in the drive, and then put one in and try to mount -t pcfs it, it gives an error having to do with bad configuration... For the cdrom, FreeBSD recognizes it fine on startup, as dev cd0, but when I try to do a mount -t pcfs, I get something along the lines of "Mount : input/output error." Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Mark D. Spiller
