Opening /mnt/hdb reads from my stone-age 1X CD ROM drive! Aha! make this your fstab: /dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrw supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0 Save it, reboot, and then open /mnt/cdrw for your cdrw drive, and /mnt/cdrom will be your scsi drive. This will work. If it doesn't, then I don't know what the heck is going wrong. I seriously hope this helps.
