RE: Accessinf devices after install...

Look in your /etc/dev for /cdrom and mount using that, linux sees it as a cdrom not a hd (i think)

Aha! You need to address cdroms as the whole device, no partitions. Try
/dev/hdb instead.

No change:

kevin-dsl-212:/tmp# mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/hdb /cdrom

mount: /dev/hdb is not a valid block device
