I'd like to thank every one who responded, and all those who were
willing to respond but saw that they would be repeating information already
sent.
It turns out that the designation of the CDROM drive changed between
versions 3.3 and 4.2 , and the only one I knew was the designation of the
CDROM drive for version 3.3 . I did a
grep -i cdrom *.TXT
on the files
ABOUT.TXT INSTALL.TXT README.TXT TROUBLE.TXT
ERRATA.TXT LAYOUT.TXT RELNOTES.TXT UPGRADE.TXT
and found no mention of the designation of the CDROM drive, so I am glad
that a couple of responders sent it to me. I would like to know how they
found out this tidbit of information so I'll know where to look for it in
the future. I would suggest that there be a man page listing all the
drive designations ( CDROM , A , B [if one has it] , IDE [or other]
drive D , etc. , SCSI drives ) and this man page should be referenced as
a "SEE ALSO" in all the mount man pages . Possibly it could be like Greg
Lehey's table 13.5 except that it should be more complete.
