About cdrom

Is debian supposed to have a /dev/cdrom
Because when I install debian I do
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom and I get
/dev/cdrom file or Dir not found
I thought you can only mount a cdrom drive with /dev/cdrom

/dev/cdrom is a possible sudoname for your cdrom. Unless you have a
simlink between the real device and /dev/cdrom it won't work. For
example, if your cdrom is on /dev/hdc (master on IDE cable #2) then
make the link: ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom. Or just mount it as
mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /cdrom. All dev 'short cuts' must be set up
by the user. (such as /dev/mouse, /dev/modem, etc....)
