/dev/cdrom is not a device, but a symbolic link to the cdrom device. If you have an ide cdrom, it will usually point to something like /dev/hdb (slave on primary port), /dev/hdc (master on secondary port) or /dev/hdd (slave on secondary port). You probably need to do something like cd /dev ln -s hdb cdrom as root. HTH, Eric -- E.L.
