[newbie] CDROM again
I have been all over the web, and the newbie archives and tried all indicated solutions to get to my cdrom as root or user. Nope? error message is /mnt/cdrom is not a block device. What have I missed. Here is my fstab. /dev/hdc1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdc6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,dev=/dev/hdb 0 0 /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy vfat sync,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev,unhide 0 0 /dev/zip/mnt/zipvfat nosuid,noauto,nodev,user 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 I know something doesn't look right on the /mnt/cdrom line, something missing, but can't put a finger on it and I have lost the one good example I printed out. It's in the mess called my desk. So does anyone have a solution to this problem. I have the soundblaster live configured and have been congratulated by my computer so I know its working, I would like to listen to a CD to see how much improvement gained over the old card.

Dennis: Try changing the entry for your cdrom in fstab to: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,dev=/dev/hdb 0 0 That oughta work!
