[gentoo-user] Cant Mount the CDRW drive

[Alexander A. Koulouris]

Hi all,   Here is the latest,  I had to recreate the directory /mnt/cdrom with ‘mkdir –p /mnt/cdrom’ And I tried to mount the cdrom with ‘mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom’  I got a error Mount: you must specify the filesystem type So I entered ‘mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom –t iso9660’ And I get Mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist   Another time I tried it with /dev/hdc and I got Mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only Mount: No media found   I tried to different cd’s Still nothing Please help me mount the cdrw so that I can install the rest of the packages   Thanks Axeios
