======================================================
In an earlier message , I wrote :

Nope, no such luck. I tried all combinations of
directories and cd drive names, no luck. I even looked
thru' the dmesg, to see if my cdrom drive (Samsung CD
R/W SW-252 B ) is detected. I can't, however see any
message saying my CDROM drive was detected. 

Could that be the problem ? What is the /dev/ entry I
should use, to mount my cdrom ?? I tried cd0a, cd1a,
cd0b... to no avail.

I there a problem with the NetBSd install and Samsung
CDROM drives ? Has anyone else faced such a problem ?

Thanks in advance, 
Kumar
