Mounting and Unmounting CD-ROM and Floppy-Based Filesystems
Now that you've had some experience mounting different foreign filesystems, it should be a snap moving on to CD-ROMs and floppy drives. CD-ROMs will usually be mounted as CD9660, but floppies will generally either be FFS (the FreeBSD standard) or MS-DOS.
Mounting CDs and Floppies
For CD-ROMs, the main trick is to determine the device name. IDE drives will be of the form /dev/acd0c, SCSI drives will be of the form /dev/cd0c, and miscellaneous types of non-standard drives have other prefixes. As for the suffix, use “c” to indicate that you are addressing the entire disk in “dedicated” mode.
