Your question is on point! I haven't been able to mount the cdrom - no matter what sequence of commands I've tried. A recurring error is that the device is not configured. To rebuild the kernel, I need the source which lives on the cd and not my hard drive. Thus I would like to add the source package rather than re-installing 2.1 from scratch. What would appropriate fstab and /dev/ entries look like? I've got a cd0a, cd0c, scd0,scd0a,scd0c entries.
