Hi,

I am having problems mounting a CD. The instructionsay
mount -t is09660 /dev/devname /cdrom

So I tried...

bench2# mount -t iso9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom
mount: exec mount_iso9660 not found in /sbin, /usr/sbin: No such file or
directory

I also tried ...
bench2# /sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom
mount_cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Invalid argument

And ..
bench2# mount /cdrom
cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Invalid argument

My /etc/fstab file contains:
/dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

You forgot to tell us what is your system (FreeBSD X.X.X ?).

what is the output of

ls -l /sbin/mount_cd9660

?

ESMS

HI,
I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7
I did not realize it this ...
man mount_cd9660

Start the filesystem at startsector. Normally, if the underlying
device is a CD-ROM drive, mount_cd9660 will try to figure out
the
last track from the CD-ROM containing data, and start the
filesystem there.

So I tried ...
mount_cd9660 -s0 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

which worked.

Thank You!

Hi Nread,

Please post your version and kernel to assist us to help you.

At root just try mount /cdrom, I have learned this works for me
ver 2.2.7.
Also check to make sure your /dev is not maybe wdc0, like mine,
basic IDE channel 0.

Does /dev/wcd0c exist? If not does /dev/wcd0 exist? If so try:

mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0 /cdrom
