The contents of /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi changes whenever I go into "mkdev cdrom" to make changes. I have tried to remove the cdrom drive and start fresh twice, and I need to have a couple of things clarified, I think: #1 - is the "mkdev cdrom" the right command to start with? #2 - what is the difference between adding a driver or adding a device? If I start with trying to add the CD Rom device, it says that I first need to install a driver. So I proceed to install a CD Rom driver using my IDE info (which I think is Secondary Master), rebuild kernel, etc. and reboot. Then when I go and try to add the CD Rom device, it tells me there is already a device configured with that IDE info. At no time, however, have I been able to do a successful mounting of the CD using:
So I know I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what to do differently.
From above:

Since your HD came from a different platform, I think the steps would be:
1. 'mkdev cdrom' to remove the old device config and driver. Relink the kernel and reboot.
When completely happy that all traces of old CDROM config have gone, i.e. system complains that there's no driver.....
2. 'mkdev cdrom' to install the new driver. Relink the kernel and reboot.
3. 'mkdev cdrom' (again!!) to configure the device. Prompts are different from (2) above. Relink the kernel and reboot.
Having to run 'mkdev cdrom' twice to configure a new disk or CDROM device, first for the driver and second for the configuration, confuses many. Have no doubt about that.

DESCRIPTION
cdctrl command is a program that opens a CDROM device and may be used for interactive control of the CDROM including play starting at a

Each command results in one or multiple lines of output to stdout, followed by an info string, followed by END.
The format of the info string is:
CMD cmd-name cd-status track abs-time rel-time
cmd-name := {play, stop, ... quit} from above list
cd-status := {invalid, play, paused}
