Hi,
The config looks fine, but I think the CD doesn't have an ISO filesystem on
it. The cd9660 drives looks for some 'magic' on the disk to see if it's in
a readable format, if not then the device is not configured.

Some sort of multisession?
For sure the layout of the CD isn't according to 'normal' specifications AFAIK
but seems to be partitioned. I'm curious; what's on it?

Indeed, a is reserverd for root, b for swap, c the whole disk and d-z are user
defineable. Nothing has changed, and you certainly don't seem stupid to be :)
