Alex,
Thank you for your kind input. My cdrom and cdrw now work under
ide-emulation and also my reader works correctly in supermount.
After much fiddling I changed mtab and it seemed to come together. The
respective files for this are as follows:-
/etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
vga=normal
default=Mandrake
prompt
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk
label=Mandrake
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img
append=" quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
/etc/fstab
/dev/hdb5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0
0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/nt ntfs ro,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/etc/mtab
/dev/hdb5 / ext3 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /home ext3 rw 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0
0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0
0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount
rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0
0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/nt ntfs ro,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
I include these as a matter of interest and hope that you may use
supermount effectively.
With thanks and seasons greetings,
