* I've also encountered that problem on my cpaq1200xl125; cdrom won't
  mount AFTER rh7.2 (enigma) is installed. I've issued:

  mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom  AND

  mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

  The device is a Toshiba  DVD-ROM SD-C2402, and I know it mounts
  during boot as /dev/hdc, and umounts /dev/hdc after installation
  is complete. It has been one of several issues with the "Designed
  for WIN98" laptops I use.

  Other than that, installation went flawlessly on this machine.
