Well ...

You said: "You were searching the device and not the mounted
          file-system?"

I asked:  "Could you please explain this?"

What's the problem?

That's the point. There should be a result.

He showed an example where it worked for him.
I didn't have anything to add (why should I?).

Come on ... other CDs worked fine!

I got the answer now via e-mail (from Wolfgang Solfrank).

An empty (newly created directory) in NetBSD has a linkcount of 2. If
it's filled, it's +2. The iso 9660 standard usually burns CD with a
linkcount of 1.

find sees 2 (with my CD, creating the problem) and stops searching
since 2 means an empty directory. If !=2 is found, the recursive
routine inside find starts.

Here what ls -ld /mnt/cd0 says with the CD in question inserted and
mounted!

# cd /mnt/CD0
# ls -ld
# drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel  2048 Mar  1 14:23 .

Here a properly mastered iso 9660 CD.

# cd /mnt/CD0
# ls -ld
# dr-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2048 Sep 15  2000 .

That's te reason ...
