I've recently added a number of new items to my RH5 system.. namely a
WangDat 3200 and a 4x Sony CD-ROM..  

I haven't even looked at the WangDat yet so thats not really an issue..
however, the cd-rom is another matter..  I've already got an IDE CD-Rom in
my system which works fine.. I mounted it under /mnt/cdrom and has the
symbolic link /mnt/cdrom -> /dev/hdc (i think thats right... i'm doing this
from memory)..

I haven't actually tried this yet.. but I'm sitting here and wondering how
exactly I'm going to mount my scsi cd-rom...  is it simply a case of
creating somic like /mnt/cdrom2 and then adding a line to fstab with somic
like the following..

/mnt/cdrom2     /dev/<cdrom device>...  etc...etc...etc

I assume the link /dev/cdrom is only there to make it all look nice     and
there is no actuall reason for it other than that?  If its not, and there is
some specific purpose to it then what link should I use to reference my
second CD?

While we're on the subject of this...  I've also got a CDW (Yamaha 100).. in
windows95/NT i can use it as a normal cd-rom too.. has anyone tried this in
linux? 

Thanks in advance
