Hello! I am trying to get my CDROM drive to auto-mount and auto-unmount via amd. What I would like is to be able to ``cd /cdrom'', and have it automatically mounted for me. Then when I cd out of it via ``cd /'' the CDROM automatically unmounts, so that I can press eject. However, my attempts have produced utter failures. Clearly, I do not understand the format of the amd map file and the amd command line options, or how they interact. What I have tried is to create an entry in fstab for the CDROM: /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 noauto,ro 0 0 Then, I wanted to create an entry an amd.map entry which corresponds to /cdrom. I tried something like: cdrom type:=program;mount:="/sbin/mount mount /cdrom";unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /cdrom" and attempted with calls to amd which looked like: amd / amd.cdrom.map but this seems to lock up the machine. Has anyone tried something similar and with better results than what I have been able to produce? Thanks, -- James
