->Just an info on something I could found nowhere (searched the device namings section of FreeBSD handbook, books, other forums..etc) I know that IDE ATAPI cdrom drive is acd -> acd0 = 1st IDE ATAPI cdrom acd1 = 2nd IDE ATAPI cdrom acd2 = 3rd IDE ATAPI cdrom ..etc My question: why is there mention in FreeBSD manuals and technicals of acd0a, acd0b..etc Why that letter at the end (which normaly designates a partition --but there's no partitions on a Cd rom!!!) please also tell me when it should be a,b,c,d,e at the end on the cdrom device naming? OS that I have -> FreeBSD 5.1 Craig Lloyd Searching for the best free email?
