Re: mounting media as a normal user

# NetBSD /etc/fstab
# See /usr/share/examples/fstab/ for more examples.
/dev/wd0a               /       ffs     rw               1 1
/dev/wd0b               none    swap    sw               0 0

/dev/cd0a     /cdrom       cd9660 ro,noauto,nodev,nosuid  0 0
/proc      /proc        procfs rw,linux 0 0
procfs /usr/pkg/emul/linux/proc procfs rw,linux


That's my fstab printout. Still not able to use the device as a normal
non-root user.
I copied the example to etc.
Do I use chmod 766 /dev/cd0a or something to that nature?

Have a look at /usr/share/examples/amd - the CD part works straight
