I'm assuming you have only the one drive, Ricoh 7060A.
I had a similar problem with my drives. Here's what I did to get both
drives to mount and read correctly.
In /dev insure that the syslinks are set as follows:
#@cdrom -> /dev/hdc
#@cdrom1 ->/dev/scd0
Make sure this is the same device setup in your fstab for supermount.
** Note if you have only one cdrom then you could just have the one
syslink in your /dev
and one device in the fstab file. That is the cdrom -> scd0
# /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
# lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 29 16:12 /dev/cdrom ->
scd0
