I have a suggestion. Try typing eject /dev/hda. If it can't find eject,
then install it with urpmi eject. Once it's installed, type eject
/dev/hda, eject /dev/hdb, eject /dev/hdc, and eject /dev/hdd. All as
separate commands. Then tell us which command opens your cdrw drive (and
your regular cd drive if you have one). Then we can just give you a new
fstab and lilo.conf file.
Hope you get this working!

They told me to install Windows 98 or better, so I installed Linux.
