I asked about optical drives not working after installing 3.2D-1. The
most obvious step, which I had forgotten, was that optional subsets
such as "CLCOP300 CAM Optical Disk Driver V3.0" which modify kernel
files should be removed before an update and then re-installed after.
Doing this got the drive working, sort of.
I can now mount the file systems as before, but access to the device
file does not work as it used to. For example,
% file /dev/rop11c
/dev/rop11c: character special (53/19458)
used to give information about the drive. And scu can no longer access
the device file
% /sbin/scu -f /dev/rop11c tur
scu: Unable to open device '/dev/rop11c', ENXIO (6) - No such device or address
% echo $?
255
But I can get at it when bypassing the device file
% /sbin/scu set nexus bus 1 target 3 lun 0 tur
% echo $?
0
So, I'm happy to have it working enough for my immediate needs.
