It doesn't seem to cause trouble.
The "-t iso9660" option causes an error if type is wrong.
So drive isn't really mounted if type is wrong.

I know but in most cases, machines I have to work with only have one=20
cdrom-drive.

I think, I'll use it.
But I would like to do a modification...

Could you explain me why the way I copied a part of rc.custom to ask if I=
 want=20
to mount cdrom doesn't work?

The way keyboard language is asked to user isn't really clear to me.=20


The other solution would be:
Be able to add a script to initrd.bz2
(I could put a script with questions to ask witch is the cdrom-drive that=
=20
should be mounted).

Can you explain me why errors occur when I try to add a file to initrd.bz=
2?
