/dev/cdrom is just a link you make to whatever device is your cdrom (hust
liek dev/modem points to your modem's serial port, dev/scanner,
/dev/pilot). either mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom
or (as root) ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom;
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
okay?
the hdd &*%^*&%^#$*^&$%&% tells you that it's on /dev/hdd (2ndyay slave)
