Subject: RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Hi Alan i am having a similar problem mounting my cd rom, but in this case
i ve trying almost everything ( today i will try to switch the IDE cables
of my cd rom and cd-R to see what happens), and my fstab is exactly like
the one above
--</mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom
i have changed it to a thousand different forms and nothing happens, it
sends the following error " unable to accses the specific directory" or the
other error is " inut/output error"... i am thinking that is a hardware
problem with my jumpers.... because the others device supermount perfectly.
and yes i disabled the supermount and try to make it manual and the same
error occurs.
please if you or something else can help me ...
J------->>>>>>im....oh, I didn't realize that you're using supermount.
That line in your /etc/fstab file is not correct, it should be
like the one below:
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom
0 0
and of course the softlink /dev/cdrom should link to /dev/hdd

Jim....oh, I didn't realize that you're using supermount.
