Can't access IDE CD-ROM from FreeBSD2.1

Can't access IDE CD-ROM from FreeBSD2.1

Post by Charles Boese » Fri, 28 Jun 1996 04:00:00



I have a P6 system that I installed FreeBSD 2.1 onto.
The FreeBSD CD-ROM from Walnut Creek CD-ROM was not
able to be used, even though the install.bat file
could see the CD-ROM - so I have been forced to do a
ftp network install, which worked. The problem is, I  still
want to access my CD-ROM. I used the ATAPI.FLP disk
and still no luck on accessing the CD-ROM.

Can anyone tell me how to mount an IDE CD-ROM onto
a working FreeBSD 2.1 system? (There appears to be
no device for IDE CD-ROMS in FreeBSD). I already tried
mount_9660 and no luck. It appears that I am not the only one
with a lot of difficulty with CD-ROMS on FreeBSD...

Send me a cc: email in response to this message as I need
this information ASAP.

Thanks,

Charles

#1 is it in your kernel to see the cdrom...in the dmesg..you can see if
it send the cdrom....

#2 if it is seeing the cdrom then type
mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

#3 keep in mind that is if the dir is cdrom( you may need to make it)
and  that if the cdplayer is followed at wcd0c
............:)


it may tack a day or two but I will get to it.....

1. Upgrading to SCSI CD-ROM from IDE CD-ROM

Hello, I just upgraded my system from an old IDE CD-ROM to a UltraPlex
14/32 and a RICOH 6201S [I think that's the number] 6R2W CD-ReWriter.
The problem is that I can no longer see a CD-ROM.  Can someone show a
fool what possible mistakes he might have made?

System:
Dual PP166/512 in a SuperMicro P6DNE, 192MB of EDO RAM (32MB x 6);
Seagate Barracuda (4G)          at SCSI ID #1   [/dev/sda]
Seagate Hawk 2 (2G)             at SCSI ID #2   [/dev/sdb]
Plextor Ultra 14/32 CD-ROM      at SCSI ID #3   [not clear which dev]
Ricoh 6201S CD ReWriter         at SCSI ID #4   [not clear which dev]
Fujitsu 230 MB MO drive         at SCSI ID #6   [/dev/sdc]
old Adaptec 2940 SCSI card      at SCSI ID #7
cheap SB compatible sound card
D-Link DE220 ISA NE2000 clone
Matrox Millenium 8 MB (original)

System:         Red Hat 4.2 [afraid to touch 5.0] set up with the old
                IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM in place of the newer CD drives.

Symptoms:       Cannot read either CD drive.  When trying to mount either
                /dev/scd0 or /dev/scd1, get a not ready error saying that
                either superblock is bad or drive is empty.

Other data: the system minus the motherboard has been in use continuously
        since Jan 96, until the CD-ROM upgrade.  Both the Ricoh and the
        ultra Plex is detected at boot time as sr0 and sr1 [but not as
        scd0 or scd1] ... A kernel was compiled with the SCSI CD-ROM and
        generic support.

Any comments, as well as helpful hints on how to get CD-writing going if
and when I fix this, will be welcome.  E-mails tips welcome!
