I have a cd-rom and burner, hdc,hdd

scsi-emulation enabled in the kernel for the burner
hdd=ide-scsi applied to kernel

what do I need to add to fstab for these 2 cd's to be recognized and mountable? Anything else I should e aware of - i can never get k3b to work - arson works sometimes.

The burner is a mashita 4x8x32 - i always use generic settings for it

thanx

Code:
mkdir /mnt/cdwriter
echo "/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660 user,noauto,ro  0 0" >> /etc/fstab
echo "/dev/cdroms/cdrom1      /mnt/cdwriter   iso9660 user,noauto,ro  0 0" >> /etc/fstab


if you only want to use the cdwriter to write cd's it doesn't have to be mounted, so it doesn't need to be in fstab

this approach works fine on devices using scsi emulation?

yes,
my system has only 1 cd writer (no reader or dvd), i also use scsi emulation and i have:
Code:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660 user,noauto,ro  0 0
in my fstab (because i want my writer to also read cd's)
