/dev/cdrom1 was never there (only /dev/cdrom which is for my DVD drive) though I did try creating a symbolic link of /dev/cdrw that pointed to /dev/scd0. Mounting this tells me that /dev/cdrw is not a valid block device (tried mounting /dev/scd0 by hand as well and was told that it is not a valid block device) but doing ls -l shows brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Mar 14 2002 /dev/scd0 - telling me that this _is_ a block device...though why it is not valid, I have no idea.

Steve,
Do an ls -l /dev/cdrom* and see if its redirected to /dev/scd0. If it looks like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 5 00:07 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd0
then I was wrong you can mount the device using /dev/scd0.
mount -o ro /dev/scd0 /cdrw
and change your mount line to have /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hdd.

Bill,
Yes, I tried it by hand and got the same message. /cdrw
does exist. I tried the CD-R that contains the iso for Debian, which I
used to install on this computer, as well as my Neverwinter Nights CD,
but all got the same result.

Steve,
Have you tried it by hand?
as root:
mount /dev/hdd /cdrw
does the /cdrw directory exist? Try a commerical cd
like
the distros copy. Maybe you burned a coaster.

When I use /dev/hdd (the ide location of the drive) I
get
this when I try to mount the drive:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/hdd,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact
use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
My fstab entry is this: /dev/hdd /cdrw iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
I only have 8 file systems listed and not all of them
are
mounted.
Thanks, Steve

Steve,
It only looks like a SCSI device to cdrecord. Its
still
located at /dev/hd? where ? is the ide location ide0 - master is a ( /dev/hda ), ide0 - slave is b
(/dev/hdb),
etc. You should be able to mount the device by using
the
/dev/hd? device normally.

Hello,
I've recently gotten my CD-RW drive setup (using
ide-scsi). cd-record -scanbus tells me it's located at /dev/sg0 (ran it as
non-root to get me the permissions error so it would list the device). Setting up /etc/fstab with /dev/sg0 as the device and /cdrw as
the
mount point (I copied my /dev/cdrom entry and modified it).
Mounting
of
course tells me that /dev/sg0 is not a valid block device. A
search didn't turn up much except telling me about mknod, but the
man
page is a bit too cryptic for my liking. How do I make /dev/sg0 a
block device or what other method can I use so I can read a CD-RW
disc
in
a 2.4 kernel?
Thanks, Steve
