Hi guys,
I am sorry for the last couple of emails, they may have been sent in html format. I finally realized how to change it over to plain text.
Anyway here is my problem I finally finished the install for the third
(3) time. I performed a stage 3+GRP. I now log in as 'root' and
provide
the password. I need to mount the CDRW Drive (Pelextor 48x52x48
ide)so
that I can install the rest of the packages which I have burned on
CD-R
media from the downloaded ISO CD2.
I have added the line to the kernel hdc=ide-scsi since the plextor is locatede on hdc. Also I have tried several commands:
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt /cdrom (Since this is the exact line in my /etc/fstab) # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 # mount /-t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
and these are the errors I have recived:
mount: you must specify the filesystem
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
The above line is not an error, but a message. It simply tells you that the cd you're mounting will be mounted read-only. Which is the only way to mount a cd, even cdr(w) because you need cd-writing software to write to it which bypasses the mounting. So probably the line you typed when receiving this 'error' was a correct one.
mount: No media found
If you got this, I think you tried to mount the cd alright, but without an actual (readable) cd in the drive...
mount: special drive /dev/cdrom does not exist
As you state that there is a line in you fstab for the cdrom drive, a simple 'mount /mnt/cdrom' should be sufficient to mount it because mount will look up all the info it needs in fstab. Try it!
Please help guys, I would really appreciate your help in resolving
this
drive issue. Since I am so EAGER to get rid of my Windows machine F O
R
E V E R !!!!!!
I could use all your feedback here.
Thanks Axeios
