DVD-RAM

[Michael K. Roost]

Hello everybody,

since one can use DVD-RAM with FreeBSD completely problem-free, a 
section in the user manual would be meaningful.

I use a LG <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B/A102>. To use a DVD-RAM I do the 
following:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/acd0 count=2

# disklabel /dev/acd0 | disklabel -BrR acd0 /dev/stdin

# newfs /dev/acd0

# mount /dev/acd0 /mnt/ram

Afterwards, one can use /dev/acd0 like normal a hard-disk.

With friendly greetings

Michael Roost
