Geek break…
Note to self: (Anyone else reading this won’t be interested unless you’re trying to burn files to a CD under FreeBSD 5.3)
I went to burn my pictures from the tattoo convention to a CD, and it failed. Just one more thing broken by the OS upgrade.
Had to reinstall the sysutils/cdrtools port to get the ‘mkisofs’ program. The ‘burncd’ program comes with FreeBSD, but I had to change the device name. I also had to change the permissions on /dev/acd0. I put a ‘perm’ entry in /etc/devfs.conf for the future.
mkisofs -L -R -o output.raw Raw
burncd -f /dev/acd0 data output.raw fixate
Also, to mount the iso image file, use mdconfig:
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f output.raw
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt
