Is the kernel seeing your CD-ROM when it boots? If not, make your kernel configuration files contain these lines: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM Then, rebuild your kernel. To mount the CD-ROM as a file system, you want to issue this command: /sbin/mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom The "/cdrom" parameter is the name of an existing directory. It doesn't need to be called "/cdrom"; you can mount the CD anywhere you want. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ We may not return the affection of those who like us, but we always respect their good judgement.
