RE: Cannot mount cdrom in new potato install
By any chance do you know to what device is your CD-ROM attached?
For exemple, my cd-rom is the slave drive of the first IDE, therefore it is
/dev/hdb. The usual IDE device are:
/dev/hda: Master of first IDE slot;
/dev/hdb: Slave of first IDE slot;
/dev/hdc: Master of second IDE slot;
/dev/hdd: Slave of second IDE slot.
If you know this (that I believe so, since you could install Debian). You may
try to mount your cd-rom by using the device name, as in
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom
This mounts my cdrom on the /mnt/cdrom directory.
If you can do this you may create a link /dev/cdrom to the real device using
the ls command.
