Are you trying to mount the drive without a disk in? This is the exact
message you get if you try to do that. Remember it's the disk you mount,
not the drive.

Where is the CD-ROM? is it on the second IDE channel (wdc1)?. If so is
wdc1 being probed? You need this in the kernel config file:
controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
If you still have problems post your kernel config file and the output
from dmesg.

fdc is the floppy _controller_, the drive itself is fd0

This is what the /etc/fstab entries look like:
# CD-ROM
/dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0
0
# FAT HD partition
/dev/sd0s1c /drvC msdos rw 0
0
# Floppy disk
/dev/fd0 /pcfs msdos rw,noauto 0
0
# NTFS partition
/dev/sd0s5 /ntfs ntfs ro 0
0

Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It
was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.
