Gentlemen:
Version: 4.1 CDROM
Hardwar: IBM PPro 200MHz 64MB Ram
Symptomes: Though I am able to mount a CD, when I attempt to dd from the CD, /dev/cd0a, I get the error msg, "invalid device". This is with 4.1.
With 2.2.8, on another node, and with this node until I installed 4.1, dd would, indeed, dump from the device to the "of=" file.
!! Most noticable, EVERY device in /dev is a character device! Is this correct?
Additionally: The reason that I am sure about dd's past behavior is that it is invoked in a script that I use, often, in burning CD's.
