The 'mount' command looks to the /ect/fstab file to see if the
device (/dev/cdrom) and it's mountpoint , as well as filesystem type
and ownership, are specified. Here is an example entry from my
/etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,nosuid,owner,ro 0 0
So, if my cdrom is /dev/hdc, and there is an entry in /dev for cdrom
which symlinks to /dev/hdc, AND the filesystem type (iso9660) is
specified in /etc/fstab, AND the mountpoint (/mnt/cdrom) exists, just
a 'mount /dev/cdrom' will work. If the filesytem type ( or the cdrom
line itself) is missing from /etc/fstab, you would get your error
message. In that case, you would have to give 'mount' that detailed
information:
mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom
See 'man mount' and 'man fstab' for more.
Best,
Tom
