Thanks for the response, Marek. But now I have another "newbie" question: It says "This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details". Is this true or can I edit it using VI or other editor? I've 'only just begun' editing files like this and have never used fstab-sync.Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote:

Hi everyone. I recently upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2, and so far so good,
except I can't get rid of one hiccup:
I can't play CDs or DVDs in any app. While MDV is starting up one thing
that lists as FAILED is:
"Mounting local filesystem: mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist"
It worked fine with 10.1. If I play a DVD using Totem for example, I get : "Failed to find mount point for device /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab"
This is the cat of my /etc/fstab:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/hdb7 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2

On the line about /dev/hdc, what does that iso9660 mean? Does this have anything to do with the install disks that I copied to my hard drive, and still have there? I've hit a dead end in my personal Knowledge Base. Thanks for any help.

I am not sure why you are having the problem, but the iso9660 file system is the normal CD-ROM file system. If you want, you can try changing it to auto and see if that helps...
Mikkel
Try this
"/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0"
or this
"/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0"
("We've only just begun..." Oh crap, now I've got Karen Carpenter stuck in my head!)
I'll try one or the other of these options and see.
