do a `man mount` for the details ...
in a nutshell... mountpoints (a directory entry made anywhere under the
"/" mountpoint, usually under /mnt directory) are neccesary to mount a
h/w device like CDROM, HDD, or FDD.
Unless the FS type, location of the device (eg. /dev/<device_id>), and
mountpoint are mentioned in the /etc/fstab file, You need to specifically
pass these parameters to the mount command.
Example: kahuna> mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
will mount my cdrom drive (IDE secondary master) as a CDROM FS-type at the
mountpoint /mnt/cdrom.
Study the /etc/fstab file to see how it can be automated. Get back to me
if you hve difficulty in figuring out the options for the first time...
and get into the habit of RTFM... thats how most of us got going :)
