I have a CDR-CDRW drive connected as master and a plain CDROM drive connected
as slave to the second IDE controller. My /etc/fstab indicates /mnt/cdrom and
/dev/cdrom to hdc. I can read CDs onI my CDR/CDRW drive. When I add another
line in fstab for a /mnt/cdrom to /dev/hdd, I cannot mount my plain CDROM ! It
gives me an eror message saying bad file system or big blocks.

What am I doing wrong? How can I get both drives to work?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Aren't you trying to mount 2 things at one mounting point? Anyway,
I think you got to set up SCSI emulation.
(it looks as if you still keep ATAPI/IDE CDROM setup, otherwise, you'd talk about
/dev/sg0 and /dev/sg1..)

It's not possible to write CDs without it, anyway.

Youll need a separate mount point for your CD-ROM. Id suggest to

mkdir /mnt/cdrw
ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrw
ln -sf /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom

and modify your /etc/fstab to look like

/dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw iso9660 ...
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ...

Thus, you can mount CDs in your CD-RW and CD-ROM simultaneously.

HTH,

Hi!

I have 2 SCSI HDs. I use the 2nd HD (1GB, sdb1, sdb2) to install the linux. And
the first (4.3GB, sda1) win98 FAT32.

How to mount the 1st HD on my linux? I use the order:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /fat

But the system did not recognize it. How can I do? Help me thx a lot!

Assuming /fat (you do have a directory /fat right?) is a symbolic link to
/mnt/dos you should do:
mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /fat (notice the difference)
