I am a Linux "Newbie" and I need some help getting my Backpack cdrom mounted running Red Hat 6.0. The installation goes fine, no problems, but when I try to mount the cdrom after the system reboots I get the msg: you must specify filesystem.
 
So I type:
 
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
 
and I get the msg: the cdrom does not exist.
 
Then, I go into /etc/fstab and change the line:
 
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 00
 
to
 
/dev/bpcd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 00
 
then at the command line I type:
 
mount /dev/bpcd /mnt/cdrom
 
and I get this msg:
 
you must specify file system
 
so I type:
 
mount -t /dev/bpcd /mnt/cdrom
 
and I get this msg:
 
the kernel does not recognize /dev/bpcd ad a block device(maybe 'insmod driver'?)
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks,
 
John
