cam-optical.so

Provide a common access method for optical disks

Syntax:

driver ... optical disk_options ... &

Options:

driver
One of the devb-* drivers.

The optical options control the driver's interface to cam-optical.so. If specified, they must follow the optical keyword:

name=prefix
Specify the device prefix (default: mo);
nobios
Don't use the geometry from BIOS int 13. By default, if you don't specify the translation option, the BIOS geometry is used.
noptab
Don't use the geometry from the partition table. The geometry from the partition table is used if you specify the nobios option, or the BIOS geometry is invalid.
translation:heads[:sectors[:path_ID[:target[:lun]]]]
Specify the geometry explicitly; this overrides the geometry from the BIOS and the partition table. The arguments are:
