I've just recently installed FreeBSD ver 2.1. I am new to this OS so please 
bare with me. I have a question about making the CD-ROM work. I have completed 
the installation with the CD-ROM installation (typed inst_ide.bat), but when 
the installation was completed and the machine(intel P90 w/ 16meg RAM) 
rebooted. I could not get the CD ROM(Sanyo) to mount. I tried the mount /cdrom 
command, but I get an error CD ROM Not configured. How do I get the CD ROM 
configured? I know the CD ROM is compatable with the system, because I used it 
to install the software. The installation used a device called wcd0c, But I 
can't get it to mount within the system. I've tried "mount /dev/wcd0c /cdrom", 
"mount /cdrom". Nothing! Any help would be very appreciative.
