Re: new cd-rom
run a dmesg|less it will show you the startup messages
Look for your cd-rom (hopefully it was detected) It is probably the next hard disk device after you last physical disk. I have two 20gig hard drives /dev/hda and b so my burner would be called /dev/hdc and I would mount it to /mnt/cdrom. I say this if you only plan to read cds with it.
I use /dev/scd0 for my burner as I had to recompile for scsi emulation and burner support. If that is your case, check www.linux.org -> support -> cd-writing HOWTO

I'm using potatoe, and have had it installed for a while now. I just
installed another cd-rom drive(a burner). How do I find out what to
call when trying mount it? I have a hard drive as the primary
master. The 1st cd-rom is the secondary master, with the burner
as the slave.
