To mount an atapi cd-rom, you need to enable "Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape support" and "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support" in your kernel. Then, it's just a simple "mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom".
If you want to burn cd-r or cd-rw's with your burner, you need the cdtools/cdrecord package, which is available in portage.
See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CDROM-HOWTO/ if you need more help. |

Whiii..... it works. 
i put in a cdrom (the gentoo livecd cdrom )
and i typed:
| Code: |
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom
|
But.... (there is always a but  )
then i type:
| Code: |
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom
|
then it mounts the cdrom (the gentoo cd) and not the cdrom drive.
is that normal ? and do i have to mount every cd i put into the cdrom drive ?
and how do i unmount the cdrom again so i can get my ******* cd out  ?
edit: found out that it was

I am not sure I understood what you meant but... Yes, you can only mount the media - the CDROM - and not the device - the CDROM drive.
You have to mount/umount your cdrom everytime you want to switch CDs.
I am not 100% sure about it but I think that supermount allows you to change CD on-the-fly. |
