I created some CDs and DVDs a while back to offload infrequently accessed files. I have since rebuilt my system and am using a custom kernel, but I thought I have added back support for CDs and DVDs, but am still unable to mount the discs.
I am using a powered USB to SATA interface with the DVD reader plugged into that. With dmesg, I see da0 maps to that device when I plug it in. I am hoping I could either run dd or mount directly on da0:
I am trying:
This results in:
My kernel configuration inherits from GENERIC and has to the best of my knowledge:
So, I think that perhaps the DVD drive is still not being properly recognized? I should be able to run dd, then after that, I probably need to run mdconfig to setup a loopback device followed by mount_cd9660. I'm not sure where to look from here though. I don't have any free space inside the case to put the DVD drive, but I'm not sure the USB part is the issue.

My kernel configuration inherits from GENERIC and has to the best of my knowledge:
Code:
device scbus # SCSI bus (required for ATA/SCSI)
device da # Direct Access (disks)
device pass # Passthrough device (direct ATA/SCSI access)
device cd # needed for CD and DVD burners
device uhci # provides USB 1.x support
device ohci # provides USB 1.x support
device ehci # provides USB 2.0 support
device xhci # provides USB 3.0 support
device usb # USB Bus (required)
device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
