Norman, First understand one thing: The terminal is always a good friend :-) Second, let's explain the fstab: Fstab (filesystem table) is a table with all the specification for you filesystem. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab. To check the content of fstab just type this on you terminal:
$ cat /etc/fstab (and paste here the result of this command) Third, to mount manually a device, you need to know first which device is what on your Linux. Usually, cdrom is some /dev/hdc thing. Then, to mount it: $ mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom The strange things is: How did you installed gentoo without knowing this issues? :-) Hope this 2 cents helps you.
