Re: Debian cannot find the CD

[Miguel Ângelo Soares]

You must have a cdrom directory in root.  mkdir cdrom. That might solve your problem. Make sure your drive is an ATPI. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Cugley To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 3:34 PM Subject: Debian cannot find the CD Hello all   Debian cannot find the CD drive (though Windows 98 can) so I have used the vi editor to change the file system table. Unfortunately, the CD is still not being found by Debian.   I have changed the line in /etc/fstab /dev/cdrom    /cdrom     iso9660 defaults,noauto         0  0 to: /dev/cdrom    /cdrom     iso9660 defaults,noauto,users        0  0     After restarting the computer, putting a cd in its drive and double clicking on the cd icon, I get the message: "mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist"   If anyone can see what I might be doing wrong then please let me know.   Regards Barry
