George, your fstab lines for mounting cdrom, cdrom2 (and floppy, although you say it is working) look suspicious. They are in fact telling the os to mount "none", and this seems to be the error msg you are getting too (smart errror msg: it is telling us exactly what the problem is). The fstab lines should read "/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount all-the-options-presently-in-your-lines". (notice that "none" has be replaced with "/mnt/cdrom" and "none" should be replaced with "/mntcdrom2" and "/mnt/floppy" in the next two fstab lines too. Then reboot and mtab should reflect these values too.) Can you see the logic? Give this a go, and let me know if we have surmounted the "supermount" issue. -- J.
