e.g.
Code:
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0

NOTE: If you use k3b in KDE or any other desktop with HAL enabled (default on KDE), do not add these fstab entries. Doing so will prevent HAL from mounting your CDs/DVDs.

NOTE4: One thing recommended by the k3b port is to add 'devd_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf... it seems like a good idea to me  ... It helps give permanence to the changes in /etc/devfs.conf
Code:
perm xpt0 0666
perm pass0 0666

Another way to deal with the permissions issue is to use rulesets. This is advantageous if you use removable drives. Rulesets are defined in
/etc/devfs.rules and you may have to create this file if it does not already exist. For more information see
devfs(8) and
devfs.rules(5). Here is an example
/etc/devfs.rules that will set read/write permissions for the devices required for k3b to operate as a non-privileged user:
Code:
# MYBOX's rules
#
[mybox_rules=100]
add path 'acd*' mode 666
add path 'cd*' mode 666
add path 'pass*' mode 666
add path xpt0 mode 666
Then edit
/etc/rc.conf and add:
Code:
devfs_system_ruleset="mybox_rules"
