	Thanks. I was trying unsuccessfully to label sd2, and ended up making
a partition with fdisk and then disklabelling (I think) the partition, ie,
/dev/sd2c. After that, the system correctly recognised /dev/rsd2a, etc.

	Damn! I knew I had seen an optical disk driver somewhere but didn't 
remember where :-(

	BTW... are there plans to write a good tutorial about disk handling in FreeBSD?
I spent a lot of time until I (sort of) figured how it works. (I'm not asking for
someone to do it, but perhaps volunteering)

	Thank you very much,



	Borja.
