Hi,

A couple weeks ago my NeXT when down :( and corrupted my netinfo database  
and wiped out some files. I rebuilt the netinfo database using niload, and  
now most everything seems to work. However, when I try to view a DOS disk  
under a "me" account I get the message "Floppy disk is unreadable". This  
does not happen if I,m logged on as ROOT. Furthermore, I'am able as a "me"  
user to use BuildDOS to format the disk; after which I get the above  
mentioned message. Now I 've check the permissions in the dev directory  
and they seem to be O.K. Also, I should mention that in /usr/filesystems  
the directory DOS.fs exist. The second problem I have, which might  
possibly be related, is that I can't get my NeXT to mount the CDROM  
filesystem. I have no other devices connected to my NeXT other than the CD  
player.  When I place a SUN CD in the drive the message "External disk is  
unreadable" comes up and on pressing the ignore button the disk ejected.  
The same thing happens if I place a music disk in. I've also tried the  
CDplayer.app from sonata, with no success. The OS version I have is 2.1.
Any help would be appreciated.

thanx

send non NeXT mail to a05@seis.gp.uwo.ca
