Thanks for all of the helpful answers, I'm getting there I think!
Ok, I got the cdrom drive working, well sort of. I mounted it to /dev/scd0 and I
could mount the Linux install disk and get a directory as well as a DOS disk I
had laying around, I could mount it and get a directory.
However, when I try to use the kscd program to read a music cd, it just says
it has an access error. I made sure the cd drive wasn't mounted to anything,
but I can't get kscd to see a music cd. I verified that kscd is pointing to
/mnt/cdrom.
Should I be trying to mount it somehow?
Anyway, this seems odd to me since I thought supermount was supposed to
automagically mount and unmount the cds and such for me.
