Reg --
Without a little more detail, I can't know if you omitted or muffed
something. Here are the steps you need to go through (skipping any you
already did, of course):
1. make sure the CD drive is actually on /dev/hdb . Assuming the kernel
detectws the drive, you will see the location during the boottime messages.
2. make the symlink, either to hdb or to a different device if needed (e.g.,
"ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom").
3. make sure the mount point is present. If not, make it (e.g., "mkdir
/cdrom" if that location is your preserence (it's one of the two standard
spots; the other is /mnt/cdrom).
4. make sure a Linux-readable CD is in the drive.
5. mount the drive (e.g., "mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom").
6. See if you can see the drive - e.g., "ls /cdrom".
If you get an error somewhere along the line, post again, but this time
quote the EXACT error message and tell us where in the sequence the problem
occurs.
