IBM Thinkpad 560, tried JVC drive, can't install BUT SEEN AT BOOTUP

["John Miskinis" <miskinis@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I just tried everything again from scratch.  This time I used
the JVC SCSI CDROM, with the New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA-SCSI card.

Again, I could not use the CDROM for install.  I configured just
about all of the SCSI device drivers, and PCMCIA controller.  Now
when I boot, I see some info about the JVC drive though:

It mentions the aha152x adapter BIOS test passes, detected 1 contoller
It Identifies the JVC correctly as an XR-W2040.  IRQ=3 SCSI ID=7
Detected SCSI CD-ROM at scsi0 channel0 ID3 LUN0

I can't mount /dev/cdrom (or even /dev/hda1) complains about no fstab
entry.  The peanut linux I had running would at least allow me
to mount C: by "mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /DOS".

2 questions:

Is there a way I can get back to where I choose "Standard Development
packages" ?

Is there a way to mount /dev/hda1 and /dev/cdrom without an fstab
entry?  If not, what is the syntax of the fstab entry I should
add?

Thanks for any help,

John
