Subject:   cdrom mounting at boot
Message-ID:  <XFMail.980511181952.kf7nn@kf7nn.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
finally broke down and bought a new cd-rom and now i want to mount it at boot
time but i dont want the system to hang if there is no disk in the drive or 
an error occurs mounting it (like before the new one).

previously i would get the famous "enter path for sh" and be in single user
mode if the cd-rom didnt mount.

so what can i do to my fstab file that would allow this, after taking
out the noauto option of course.

/etc/fstab
