Has anyone managed to get fedora to play nice with Myth's monitor CD/DVD
functionality? I've got myth setup up to do that, specifically for DVD's to bring
up the menu. No matter what I try it doesn't seem to work though. I've edited
/etc/fstab so that my dvd-rom shows up as:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom ufs,iso9660 exec,ro,noauto,user 0 0
That seems to work so that HAL (fstab-sync) doesn't re-write /etc/fstab. Myth just
ignores it though. If I use anything besides /dev/hdc (say /dev/dvd, a symlink to
/dev/hdc) fstab-sync removes all dvd-rom related entries and adds it's own again.
Is there some specific device or mount point I need to have in fstab for Myth? How
do I work around HAL to do that?
