Re: Can't mount cdrom

[mylar <micros50 computer net>]

Make sure the mount point "/mnt/cdrom" exists. If not, create it. 
"/dev/cdrom" is usually a link to a device, i.e if the cdrom is an ide 
device then make sure /dev/cdrom points to a device such as "/dev/hdx". If 
the above check okay try mounting from the command line via "# mount -t 
is09660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom" and see if the device mounts okay. If that 
works then you're in business. Make sure your fstab file is correct and 
you should be all set.
