I had problems following the supplied instructions, but I found a new set of
instructions somewhere on the Internet (I forget the URL - but you can
easily find it with Altavista - something like 'John Smith uses RiscBSD on
his StrongARM').

He recommended that you type in the following:

cd /dev
mknod acd0a B 20 0
mknod acd0c b 20 2
mknod racd0a c 20 0
mknod racd0c c 20 2
mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/acd0a /cdrom

Also, note that the sets are in /cdrom/pd_share/riscbsd/sets.

As I said in message <Marcel-1.26-0913153859-0b0a*2k@whtng.demon.co.uk>
everything worked up to step 35 of the supplied instructions after this.
