	Subject: Mount cdrom
	Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 12:42:47 +1200 

	I have Redhat 7.2 running and want to mount a cd, but when I try
"mount
	/dev/cdromm /mnt/cdrom" I get  "/dev/cdrom is not a valid block
device",
	which I guess is true:

	ls -l /dev/cd*
	lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Jul 12 11:04 /dev/cdrom
->
	/dev/hdd
	brw-rw----    1 root     disk      15,   0 Aug 31  2001 /dev/cdu31a
	brw-rw----    1 root     disk      24,   0 Aug 31  2001 /dev/cdu535

	I had this problem before and solved it, but then had to reinstall
and I've
	forgotten what I did previously.  I'm sure it's trivial and I ought
to be
	able to work it out, but it's frustrating me.  Can anyone help
please.

	Thanks,

	Simon 
	
Simon,

/mnt/cdrom points to the ide interface to which your drive is connected. hda
for ide -I primary and so on. Just check to which interface your drive is
connected and then check whether the mount point directory is created. 

This should work.

Thanks & Regards,

Satish
