K3B or CDRoast can't detect devices!

Hi,

I can't get K3B og CDRoast to detect any devices. I have a DVD player and a DVDBurner.

I can't mount the devices and read from them fine, but K3B and CDRoast can't detect them, as root or normal user.

/dev/acd0 <- the dvdrom
/dev/acd1 <- the dvdburner

How do I solve this problem?

I mean I CAN mount them, not can't - sorry!

One has to make a custom kernel with the following:

device atapicam
device scbus
device cd
device pass

Building a custom kernel under BSD is easy check the FreeBSD manual.

In addition to the changes to the kernel mentioned above, you may need to make some changes to device file permissions and such. Assuming you've installed the ports tree, try:

less /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b/pkg-message

for more info. On my system (PC-BSD 0.7.5) I needed to change the permissions for /dev/pass0, /dev/pass1,/ and /dev/xpt0. I also added 'devd_enable="YES' to /etc/rc.conf. I think that's all I did, but check out that pkg-message file. It works!
