seem to get the drives to work the way i want them to. I'm attaching
the curent state of my lili,modules and fstab files.
If someone could tell me where i went wrong and also what i need to
link cdrom and cdrom2 to so i can get full access back to these
drives, i'd be really happy :)

I would add this to the append= line in each of the

I don't understand these, presumeably they are floppies
I would expect an entry something like this,
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
other=/dev/fd1
label=floppy
unsafe
Your setup is unusual,so,
/dev/hda is your rom or writer
/dev/hdb does not exist
/dev/hdc does not exist
/dev/hdd is your rom or writer
/dev/hde is your hard drive, and M8.2 is on hde5
which I do not really understand but if correct , so well and good.
I could not open your /etc/fstab, but to get your rom and writer
to work you need enties something like this,
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
these will not give you supermount.
then in /mnt directory make sure you have
/mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom2
/mnt/floppy
/mnt/floppy2 (if you have two floppy drives)
then on desktop rightmouseclick to create,each
of the devices, and in properties of each point to
the /dev files for each.
nothing else required in /etc/modules.conf

ok my setup, i have the writer on hda and the reader on hdd. Then i
have a 40 mb hd on a promise 100 eide controler. I only have 1 floppy,
which works, and am confused about the second entry as well. I do not
have the mnt entires for either cd device nor can i get them to mount.
I had already tried the 2 fstab lines you had listed. What it appears
to me is the ide driver is only partially letting go of the drives. I
only see a scsi entry for the burner. All i have in my dev/scsi..... (i
think lun0 is the last subdir on a deap path) is scsi0 and generic.
According to the directions on the cd-ram how to, if i want the devices
to be seen under mnt i have to make a soft link to something. It's that
something i can't figure out as the something that the directions say to
link to doesn't work....
