Be sure that your system is detecting drive properly. You should see
something like
wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <FX810T4/a03>, removable, intr, dma, iordis
acd0: drive speed 1377KB/sec, 256KB cache
acd0: supported read types: CD-DA
acd0: Audio: play, 255 volume levels
acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray
acd0: Medium: CD-ROM 120mm audio disc loaded, unlocked
In the output from dmesg.
Next be sure that you can read from the drive. As root try
cat /dev/wcd0c | od -c | head -100
You should get 100 lines of garbage flying across the screen.
If this fails make sure that there is a device file for the cdrom
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV wcd0
Now the command
mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt
should make it available in the /mnt directory.
If this all works then put a line like this:
/dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
In /etc/fstab (if it is not already there). Then unmount /mnt and remount at
/cdrom:
unount /mnt
mount /cdrom
Good luck
chris
