Dear netbsd user.

Thanks for anyone who replayed my email.

About my first question.

I tried with '-o ro' option, and it give me the message like this :
cd9660: Device not configured

Actualy when the PC booting, it can't find the cd drive. The booting
message (also dmesg command) printed the message like this :
mcd0: timeout in getresult 

I use the MKEP Panasonic Matsushita CDROM. And I configured it in kernel
configuration files as follow :
mcd0    at isa? port 0x320 irq 10       

I also use the window 95 to operate this PC. In system configuration (control
panel) window 95 can manage this cd in that port number (0x320).
(but I couldn't see what irq number that win 95 use to manage it)

Any opinion for this problem ?

About my second question.

>  How to export system file using /etc/exports ? What is the format (syntax)

From: Rob Windsor <windsor@pobox.com>

>> in /etc/exports, something like:

>> These are options that I use, ymmv.      

Thank you, I can export and mount the file system now.
But, why I can't export /usr/X11R6 and /usr/spool togather ?
The showmount program only can indicate the first exported file system.

About my third question.

From: Wailer <banshee@gabriella.abattoir.com>

>> is the lpt port turned on?
>> are you SURE its in ther kernel?    

Actualy I checked again the BIOS setup. The port number & IRQ that BIOS use 
is same with the kernel configuration file. But there is something strange
in my PC. The BIOS setup say the port & IRQ number for the lpt0 is 378H and 7
but when I save it and reset the PC again, no lpt0 was detected by bios.
I have no problem with lpt0 if I run my window 95 to operate my PC. But I still
have problem to use lpt0 in netbsd1.2

Before I use the version 1.2 of netbsd, I used netbsd 1.0 in this PC also. 
And I could work with this lpt0. 

Maybe its a bug for NetBSD 1.2 ? 

Thanks again for people who answered my problem.
And I'll ask you again for my two unresolved problems. Help me please .......
