/dev/cdrom is just a link you make to whatever device is your cdrom (hust liek dev/modem points to your modem's serial port, dev/scanner, /dev/pilot). either mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom or (as root) ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom; mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom okay? the hdd &*%^*&%^#$*^&$%&% tells you that it's on /dev/hdd (2ndyay slave) --dave > > How can i fix this ?? > > Thank you! > > Wilson > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > > >
