Hi John. The entries in /etc/fstab would be something like: /dev/scda /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 The first defines the first scsi cdrom, the second an ide cdrom set up as the secondary master. Another way to define the cdroms would be like this: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 Which uses the devices via devfs, which gentoo uses by default. I have both my ide CDroms set up with scsi emulation, and the latter is what I use and it works just fine. The type of features of the CDroms doesn't matter, the only thing that really matters is the type (ide/scsi) of cdrom so that you can set the device location.
