Thanks for the info. From further reading, I found out about that. So I'm
trying to get autofs working, and it's not.
My /etc/auto.master file has this in it:
/mnt/cdrom /etc/auto.cdrom
and my /etc/auto.cdrom file has this:
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/cdrom
I've even tried using:
cd -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/hdc
to exactly match what's in the example in the man page(s). I started it
up, and got no error messages, but trying to access /mnt/cdrom just give me
empty directory listing (for the directory where the mount is *supposed* to
go), but not what's on the CD. Any pointers?
