Do `ls -l /dev/cdrom'; what do you see? It should be either a raw device
(the first character in the line will be `b') or a symbolic link (first
character is `l'), like this:
olly@linda$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 18 2000 /dev/cdrom -> hdb
olly@linda$ ls -l /dev/hdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Jun 23 1998 /dev/hdb
If (common case) your CDROM is an IDE drive which is master on the second
controller, it will be called /dev/hdc.
In that case, what you should have done was:
# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
# mkdir /mnt/cdrom
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
If your drive is somewhere else, you will have to link the appropriate
device to /dev/cdrom or use the appropriate device directly in your mount
command.
