Ok, a little more work and I've discovered that I wasn't building the cd9660 module. So now, the problem is that if I am a non-root user, it won't demand load cd9660, but it will if I am root. I don't know if this could be considered a bug, perhaps a warning should be added to the FAQ. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
