And I had just read about that ... scd0 in this case ... in conjunction with
the cdrom having to be treated like a SCSI device for CD-RW to work. Sorry,
my bad.<br>

/dev/hdb means second IDE device on the first IDE controller, which may well
be a CDROM. Do an ls -l on /dev/cdrom and, if it is an ATAPI cdrom, you
will see that it is soft linked to an hd? device of some sort.<br>

is how the line reads in my /etc/fstab (RH 7.2). Since this stuff varies
from system to system, check your man(ual) pages for "fstab" - but my first
thought would be that your fstab cdrom entry is incorrect, starting with
the device (first entry) that your are trying to mount. "/dev/hdb" means
second hard disk in everything I've read.<br>

The following command is from my /etc/fstab<br>
<br>
/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto
0 0<br>
<br>
Does it mean that my cdrom is automounted?<br>
If so, should i see a cdrom's contents in nautilus?<br>
I don't.<br>
And it won't allow me to mount manually.<br>
I am using mandrake 8.1<br>
My floppy has basically the same command and it mounts OK.<br>
