Can't Mount CD through KDE

I added the device "/dev/acd0", my main CD drive, to my desktop, but it returns this error when I try to mount it with the icon:

Quoted

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
cd9660: /dev/acd0: Operation not permitted
I have permissions set on the drive to 1777, which doesn't seem to mean a thing. I can also mount it using "sudo mount_9660 "/dev/acd0" "/mnt/dvd/". Can someone help me set it up properly?

If you need sudo on the commandline you very likely don't have the necessary permission as a user.

Check if the mount options in /etc/fstab contains the user keyword

Nevermind the above post, I added user to both drives.

Now, the given error is :

Quoted

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
cd9660: -o user: option not supported
What can I do to fix this?

/dev/acd0               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto,user  0       0
/dev/acd1               /cdrom1         cd9660  ro,noauto,user  0       0
These are mine. And yes, they do work when mounted manually with mount_cd9660.

What type of CDrom drive is it, as i have never seen /dev/acd before. (Then again, i didnt see /dev/hdc as cdrom before FC3...)

One of them is a DVD-ROM drive, and the other is a CD-RW drive.

Note: I am under FreeBSD, not Linux. Hard drives are identified as adn, USB mass storage devices are identified as dan, CD drives are identified as acdn, and floppy drives are identified by fdn.

Ah. I never was a fan of FreeBSD. Hope you can figure it out.
Good luck.
