[PlanetCCRMA] a call goes out across the planet... Help me mount a cd!

[kevin ernste]

No problem at all.  I'm glad to help.  

I seem to remember having this problem too on one machine or another in
the past.  In fact, on my _working_ setup right now, fstab refers to
/dev/cdrom not /dev/scd0.  It's also a SCSI emulated burner and I have
no problems.  Perhaps this all has to do with RH's goofy way of
handling fstab entries (what the heck is "LABEL=/").

Best,

Kevin
