Hi,
Either device will work. The problem is you need to tell it what
kind of filesystem is on the device. You can either add the -t flag or
use the specialized evxternal mount command that is indirectly invoked.
Try:
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom
or
mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom
If you expect to be mounting different CD's regularly, you might
want to consider adding an entry to your fstab usign the noauto option.
Here's what I have in mine:
/dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
This allows me to use just "mount /cdrom", because the other
options are found in the fstab file.
cheers,
Adrian
