I hope this is an easy/dumb question.  

First, doesn LM8 when it's installed need configuration to make CDs 
and floppys able to mount?  With RH7 I didn't have to do anything but 
stick a CD in and I could browse it.  There were icons for the CD 
drives and floppy drive and I simply had to click on them and I'd be 
browsing.

For some reasong neither CD drive or floppy drive can be mounted.

The hardware is recognized at boot.  I can see all devices in 
harddrake.  I also see them lined up under Inf0 -> block devices

For instance, my primary CD drive is shown as 

Device: /dev/cdrom
Mount point: /mnt/cdrom

The error I get when I attempt to mount is:

mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device

I get the feeling I just need to edit something somewhere, or start 
something up, but I don't know how or what.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.  The howto was more about 
installing drivers, and the command line stuff returns the same error.

And yes, I do have a CD in the drive :-)

Thanks,

Eric
