Newbie - CD Burning Question

[Tony Pagliocco]

I have a cd writer on my FreeBSD 4.4 Machine.
I'm new to FreeBSD and have tried using the burncd command
that is in the documentation. However, I do not think the
CD Burner is located on /dec/acd0c because it says no such file
or directory is located.

The command I am using is 

# burncd -f /dec/acd0c data /home/www/directory fixate

What I want to do is copy a whole directory and burn it
to my cd-rom

Can someone just give me a nudge to show me what I may 
be doing wrong, command or location wise. 

Thanks in advance

	Editing /mnt/root/etc/fstab and updating it with the new entries.
Perhaps you can make a script so that after the dump/restore.. it'll copy
/etc/fstab.new to /mnt/root/etc/fstab - the fstab.new file is basically
the device names of the new device.  The next boot thing is easy.  If
you've ever had more than one HD on the machine with OSes on both the
first and second HD's and used FreeBSD's Boot Manager... The first thing
FreeBSD will show is the BootManager which goes something like this:

F1 FreeBSD
F5 FreeBSD

If you don't do anything, it will always boot with F1 which is the first
drive.  F5 is the second drive, I don't remember the exact name as it
varies.   So if you hit F5, it will use the /etc/fstab on the second drive
as it will use that drive to boot up.
