Subject: Re: [newbie] Cant Mount CD-ROM Problem...
I tried changing the auto to iso9660 and I still get the "mount: /mnt/cdrom
is not a
valid block device" I tried all combinations (/dev/cdrom, /dev/hdc,
/mnt/cdrom) and
still the same error message. I can mount the second cdrom though. "mount
/dev/cdrom2
/mnt/cdrom2" works but not the primary cdrom. Arerrgg!! =( HELP!!!! =(
