I have tries several different disks, all with the same results. These
CDs work fine on my Windows machines.

I used information at URL:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/creating-cds.html

18.6.9 Using the ATAPI/CAM Driver

This worked fine on my previous version of FreeBSD. Now, entering the
command:

	mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mnt

Gets me this error message:

mount_cd9660: /dev/cd0: Input/output error

MPlayer cannot play a file from a CD because it never finds a CD to
use. It did work previously.

ATAPICAM
