A line in fstab would help. You'll need to know what the kernal calls it
(you said it "finds it" so you need to know what device name it gives it).
Mine sees a SCSI cd and has named it scd0.
My fstab entry is thus:
/dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
The /cdrom is simply the mount directory. You should already have a
/mnt/cdrom directory if you'd rather use that. The iso9660 is the fstype
and the others are other options you can learn on your own.
Without an fstab entry, you can mount the above with:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /cdrom
Or if I used the default cd directory:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
Once the entry is in fstab, typing:
mount /cdrom
would mount it without all of the other esoteric junk.

If you got it via 'Doze95, you can install from there. That's the way I had
to do it the very first time. Just make sure the directory structure is the
same (including capitalization of subs).

No comment about PB specifically (I used to repair PCs). But, I'd
personally break them out into separate cards. You can probably get it all
to work. But, I'm sure it won't be easy.
