Re: Mounting USB CD-ROM manually, after boot
The device shows up with a label, and appears as /dev/cd0 (in dmesg). # mount /dev/cd0 /cdrom ...fails, with a: mount: /dev/cd0 : Invalid Argument mount_cd9660 I have nothing else in /dev that would indicate any new device was attached. I know for fact the .iso is burned correctly, because I can boot from the same CD on another PC. Even still, a bad ISO burn still shouldn't prevent me from mounting AFAIK. I've also tried all manner of cd0a etc, but they don't exist. (I can confirm cd0 is the only entry that appears in /dev after USB insertion). Can anyone shed some quick light onto the solution that I am likely purely overlooking?

This works on my system at any rate.

mount: /dev/cd0 : Invalid Argument Can anyone shed some quick light onto the solution that I am likely purely overlooking? Try this: mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mnt Thank you for the very quick reply. The above command that David stated worked immediately.
