Re: Unsuccesfully mounting cdrom.
/dev/hdc should be correct. You might try putting hdc=cdrom
in at the Boot Prompt.
It is sometimes necessary to tell the interface parameters
with "idex=base,ctl,irq", but this is generally only
necessary if you have nonstandard hardware or IRQ.
See the BOOTPROMPT-HOWTO.
