May I ask: why there are two entries each for my dvd and cd rom drives
here is the output
//////////////////

I have /cdrom directory
but "mount -t /dev/hda /cdrom" or "mount -t /dev/cdrom /cdrom"
both failed.
this is what I added to fstab
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
Can anyone suggest how I can mount the cdrom.
thanks
