I have a Panasonic IDE CD-ROM drive that attaches to the SoundBlaster
card. When FreeBSD booted, it was recognized by the system (matcd0a
appears in fstab), and I was able to load the Developer's subset from
the CD during the installation process.
But later when the system is rebooted, I change directory to /cdrom
and found nothing there.
My question is:
(1). How do I manually make a CD-ROM file system and mount it?
(2). I already recompiled Kernel and included the ATAPI option, what
more should I do to make it work.
I appreciate any of your help.
