mounting cdrom
When I installed debian the base system from cdrom I was asked the name of
the block device. It would not accept cd or cdrom, so I tried hdb. This
worked and the install proceded without incident. This may have caused a
problem
Now I am having trouble mounting the cdrom. Below is my fstab including
the various changes I tried. Below that is a list of the command line
mounts I tried and the message returned
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda6 /var ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto 0 0
on the last entry I also tried /dev/cdrom and /dev/sbpcd
These all return message, after typing mount (hdb, cdrom, sbpcd) at a
prompt,
"mount can't find * in /etc/mtab or /etc/fstab.
Trying to mount from a command line produced the same results, but a
different message.
"mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdb /cdrom " produces
mount: /dev/hdb already mounted or /cdrom busy I also tried it for
cdrom and sbpcd. In all these cases nothing ever appears in /cdrom.
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
Thankyou
Tom
ps. Yes, there is a cd in the drive
