Just installed 2.2.2 from the CD on a new box. Problem:
/etc/fstab (created by installation process) lists /cdrom and wcd0
(my memory) as the last structures in the list, after /proc. But
when I boot, mount(1) shows everything but /cdrom.
In 2.1.0, if no CD was in the drive, the system would come up
single-user, complaining. In 2.2.2, with a CD in the drive, it
comes up with no complaint at all, but /cdrom isn't mounted. Later,
if I do mount -a, or mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0a /cdrom, it mounts
quite politely.
2 questions:
1. Is there a way to have a CD automatically mounted, e.g. listed
in /etc/fstab, but yet not kill a boot if no CD is present?
Is 2.2.2 behavior different from 2.1.0?
2. In RELNOTES.TXT, something was said about the wcd driver being
of alpha quality. Is it feeling better yet?
And hay, I REALLY admire the installation software! Where can I
read about it?
