John,
Thank you for your message. I had rather assumed that the cdrom reader
could be either used by XCDRoast, or in normal usage, not both.
Having received your mail I had another look and found conflicts in mtab and other small deviations. Now all works well with my cdrom reader doubling as XCDRoast reader and for general reader work.
The current Lilo.conf - mtab & fstab files are as follows and I include these in my mail for the benefit of other's for whom this problem still persists.I do recognise that you do put a lot of work into this list and wish to thank you for all your support.. Thank you for your help.

Looks good to me, not only from your scsi-em inclusion, but I like the way you define your boot paramaters.
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img It's good to be specific, especially if like me you end up tripple booting , w2k/M8.2/M9.0, get into the habit of being precise

This is supermount, and it works for you with scsi-emulation ? for me it doesn't.
none /mnt/floppy supermountI don't have any entries in mtab, maybe that's what I'm doing wrong, maybe

I should have cdrom read device entries here as well and then supermount would
work for me too, anyone got any experiences to add on this.
