SOLVED dmesg showing cd but can't mount

[mcrae]

dmesg reports cdrom as hdc.

ls -l /dev/hdc shows:
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22 0 May 16 17:23 /dev/hdc

fstab is currently:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 00

When I issue the command mount /mnt/cdrom it states that the file doesn't exist.

should I have set up a mount point directory for the cd-rom?

Thanks,

McRae

Yeah, you need to have an actual directory in /mnt

thank you,

I hate to say this but I'm not clear how to set these mount points. I was able to do it for
/ and boot because of the example in the hand book. Could you suggest how to set up that directory? Or maybe a source to learn it? I've read the mount man and some other sources but either it hasn't sunk in or i might need some remedial help:)

OK,
I'll give that a try when I get home from work. Can't do it now.
I'm still concerned about the directory in /mnt and I'm not sure of
the syntax for setting that up.
If I remember correctly I set the mount point for /boot on /mnt/gentoo . Do I do it in a
similar way for the cdrom?

Thanks again,
McRae

Paapaa,

Thank you. Simple enough when you know what to do:)
I'll set it up once I'm home and will put solved when it's done.

Thanks for all the help folks,
McRae

Thanks Paapaa

That was it. Just needed to make the directory.

Thanks Again,
