Solved [Solved] mount /cdrom

bold

bold

FreeBSD ver 10.
When I type in this command mount /cdrom I get the result that
Code: 
command does not exist
.
Is there a way to mount a CD or DVD?
 
Re: [solved]mount /cdrom

The command and the error do not match. @bold, please show the exact command typed and the exact error message given.

Usually, it would be mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /cdrom. Or, if /etc/fstab contains an entry for /cdrom, just mount /cdrom.

The exact command is
Code: 
mount /cdrom

I have figured out the exact command to mount it. I guess it is
Code: 
#mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0 /media/cdrom
if /etc/fstab contains an entry for /cdrom, just mount /cdrom

How to add an entry in /etc/fstab in order to mount easily?

The preferred version is mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /cdrom.

An example is shown in the fstab(5) in FreeBSD 10:
Code: 
/dev/cd0        /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

I have a similar problem in PC-BSD 10.0, namely my DVD drive cannot play film DVD's. Facts are:
  1. The drive plays audio CD's using VLC or other players
  2. The drive played DVD's on this hard drive with Ubuntu 12.04 installed on it previously
  3. The drive works perfectly for installing this or other O/S
  4. The drive plays DVD's on a second hard drive where I have Ubuntu
I have tried all these commands but must confess that I am inexperienced on the command line and these anyway refer to a non-mounting DVD/CD drive.

Error messages are:
Code: 
mount_udf: /dev/cd0 invalid argument    and
Dbus error .org.freedektop .DBus.Error.No Reply

Apologies if this is inappropriate.Have only used computers (lightly) for 5 years and am low on the curve still, but I would like to scrap Ubuntu and get on with learning Unix.
