Open the file in your favourite editor and add the lines according to your needs, if this was the question. :-) > (This happens to be with a test box FreeBSD 10.* which has worked fine > other than that.)

I thought FreeBSD would have removed the acd devices in favour of the "SCSI-backed" cd device drivers? If dmesg lists the devices as recognized, the required device files should be present in /dev. Ye olde sysinstall did add them to your first /etc/fstab, but you are free to add whatever you like manually. For the purpose of installation, they shouldn't be needed. And I have to admit that I've never actually seen them in one of the dialogs in the installer - only the hard disk related things are in there. The automatically generated /etc/fstab at least had them listed (for sysinstall, not tested for bsdinstall). However, "modern" HAL + DBUS combinations prefer not to have any media devices listed in /etc/fstab, because they're doing the stuff required on their own. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
