This output is not making a whole lot of sense. It looks like you fed
dmesg to the shell.
Try this:
dmesg > dmesgout.txt
and attach dmesgout.txt to your next e-mail to the list.

What editor are you using? The other fstabs are backups created by
your editor. You can delete them if you don't need them anymore.

Bill - please attach the actual file contents, this is really
difficult to sift through -

fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
Okay - is there REALLY a space between /mnt/ and cdrom, or did you
transcribe this?

If this is in fact what is in fstab... I'm concerned about the
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 - this looks like a circular mount, and that
won't work. It should read:
/dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2
Can you remind me - is your writer IDE or SCSI?

Bill - I have to ask you to attach the actual files, because I don't
feel like I can trust what you've written here. There seem to be
contradictions in the output.
I want you to attach (as files) the output of:
dmesg
the contents of
fstab
mtab
And then I can have a proper look at this. There isn't anything
seriously wrong with your system - it looks like you've made some
major configuration errors which should be easy to fix.
