Hi altogether,
I've experienced similar trouble with a NEC CDR83 not wanting to mount
anything on a DS3100. Reading from the raw device works, but I can't
mount an ISO CD. Maybe NetBSD/pmax doesn't like CD-ROMs with 2K sector
size? (my CDR83 definitely uses 2K sectors since it came from a DOS box,
and it doesn't have a jumper to change this). On the other hand, my Sun
3's running NetBSD 1.3 perfectly deal with both sector sizes...
As we're just talking about CDROMs, does anyone have a working audio
CD-player software for NetBSD/pmax. On a 5000/240 with an RRD42 drive
(mounts ISO CDs perfectly, it definitely uses 52 byte sectors...), I
tried to compile xmcd with LessTif. Works perfectly, except that xmcd
constantly tells me there is no disk in the drive :-(
