/dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660
ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
No you can mount your cdrom with:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom
P.S. The folder /cdrom has to exist.

This is the command you would use if there were no entry in /etc/fstab.Quote:> /dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660
> ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
> No you can mount your cdrom with:
> mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom
With the above line in /etc/fstab, all you need to type is:
mount /cdrom
And any user will be able to use it.

Since it says hdd, I'm assuming your cdrom is installed as the slave
device on the secondary ide port. If this is the case, then you can
fix things by adding an append command to your lilo config that
specifies your cdrom as being hdd. Try adding hdd = cdrom.

1. Linux from Nascent CD-ROM won't mount my panasonic cd-rom drive
Hi, I just bought the Linux from Nascent CD-ROM and have been attempting
to install it on my 486DX2/66 machine. I have a cardex SVGA card using a
Cirrus chipset and 1 meg of video ram. I have 16 megs of 60-ns memory. I also
have a local bus IDE hard drive controller (32-bit) running two 340-meg
western digital hard drives. Oh, the video is local bus, too. I also have
an IOMEGA floptical drive, as well as the almost expected 3.5" and 5.25"
floppies. I also have a Soundblaster 16 sound card that is driving my CD-drive,
the setup that comes together in a multimedia pack, I forget the exact name,
but it is a fairly standard one. It is a Panasonic cd-drive by the way.
A panasonic 54- something I think. When I boot and root my way into Linux,
It won't mount my cd-drive. Since the program files are all on CD, that
means I can't install. I followed the instructions for fixing this problemm
in the manual, i.e. "mknod /dev/sbpcd b 25 0"
"ln -fs /dev/sbpcd /dev/cdrom"
This looked fine, but when I rebooted, Linux still wouldn't mount my drive.
I even tried getting new root and boot images via anonymous FTP and rawrite.
No dice. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
