/dev/cdrom, which is what you're trying to mount, is not an actual
device--instead, it's an easy-to-remember symlink to hdd (which means
"slave drive on seconday IDE port"). I assume that's where your CDROM
drive is, and that the symlink was set up for you automatically during
installation--that's typical.
When you put the drive under SCSI emulation though, you need to use a
SCSI device for it instead of the IDE device. Assuming that's your only
SCSI (or SCSI-emulated) CDR(OM) drive, that's most likely /dev/sr0 (maybe
/dev/scd0 would work too, but sr0 usually works better for me..).
So, you could do one of two things:
1) Change the /dev/cdrom symlink to point to /dev/sr0 instead of
/dev/hdd,
OR
2) Edit /etc/fstab and change /dev/cdrom to /dev/sr0
This reminds me of a little issue I'm having with ide-scsi I need to
post about.. Anyway, I hope that helps.
