That is beyond me. Since I have 2 CD's which are both scsi emulated and
working properly, Here is your fstab with MY fstab's two cdrom entries.
Try this fstab, if that still doesn't work, delete the supermount word
from both lines and try again. If you do delete the supoermount word
from fstab, you have to type mount -a as root to get them to mount
(There will be an error if you don't have a cd in both drives. You DON'T
need to mount a blank cdr for burning.  Anyway, here it is:

/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,--,unhide,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount 
dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,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 

I suggest that when it is working properly, immediately back up your
stuff before you shut your computer down. Then, you can do a full
install of Mandrake 9.1.
