Mounting CDROM
I've just installed DebianPPC3.0(Woody) on an 833Mhz iMac 17"LCD. I
cannot mount cdrom drive.
In /dev/cdrom the link to cdrom shows as:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 21 11:50 cdrom -> hdb
and hdb shows as:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Mar 14 2002 hdb
In /etc/fstab the line for /cdrom is:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9960 ro,user,noauto 0 0
But when I do:
mount cdrom [as root]
hdb: driver not present
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
Since I installed Woody from the official CDs, I would have assumed the
driver for the CDROM is in place. Why am I getting "hdb: driver not
present"? Likewise, why is /dev/cdrom showing as not a valid device?
Any assistance for a debian newbie or pointers to the relevant doc
greatly appreciated. Thanks. --HU
