[expert] Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Jimoh, I didn't realize that you're using supermount. That line in your /etc/fstab file is not correct, it should be like the one below: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 and of course the softlink /dev/cdrom should link to /dev/hdd Alan Jim Brown wrote: > > Thanks for the info! > I did an "ls -l" in the /dev dir and it shows "cdrom -> hdd" > I tried deleting that and doing "ln -s hdc cdrom" and "ln -s hdb cdrom" > etc for different devices.

Also, since you're using supermount, explicit mounting generally is not needed. If you want to explicitily mount, use /mnt/disk instead of /mnt/cdrom because supermount needs that mount point.

Jimit sounds like /dev/cdrom is a softlink pointing to /dev/fd0. It should be a softlink pointing to /dev/hdd instead.
