After several attempts to edit /etc/fstab for /dev/hdb I realized that
the system can't recognize /dev/hdb at all. It says:
/dev/hdb is not a valid block device
Fortunately I tried out my second CD-ROM drive (/dev/hdc) - and
it worked just fine ... apt-cdrom add ... no complications ...
simply fantastic!
However I want to be able to use /dev/hdb as well, as it is a
CD-writer. Do I have to install a specific module to make it work?
Thanks for your attention,
Andreas.
