SOLVED! Re: Can't mount cdrom: no such device /dev/hdc

[Sebastian Canagaratna <s-canagaratna@onu.edu>]

Hi:

  Thanks to Kent and Seneca for their suggestions. I had had a power
  supply failure
  last week and the technician replaced the power supply.  He had
  forgotten to plug in the cable from the cdrom to the board. Now all
  is well.

  Thanks again.
