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
