So I tried a few entries at the command line...
[root@zoey /etc]# mount -a
[root@zoey /etc]# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
[root@zoey /etc]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
[root@zoey /etc]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
[root@zoey /etc]# mount /dev/cdburner /mnt/cdburner
mount: /dev/cdburner is not a valid block device
[root@zoey /etc]# arg!
bash: arg!: command not found
[root@zoey /etc]#
And still I can't get the damn things mounted. The hard drives are as
autodetected... and I *did* install off the Mandrake cd... I just can't
remount the bloody drives.
Of (perhaps) importance:
/dev/cdburner is quite obviously a cdburner.
/dev/cdrom is no quite so obviously a dvd-rom drive.
Please help,
Thank you,
John
