Paraphrasing /var/run/dmesg.boot I have: wdc1 -> HDD Controller #2 |___ acd0 NEC (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive slot0 |___ acd1 slot1 |___ acd2 slot2 |___ acd3 slot3 Paraphrasing /etc/fstab I have: /dev/acd0c -> /cdrom /dev/acd1c -> /cdrom1 /dev/acd2c -> /cdrom2 /dev/acd3c -> /cdrom3 Yet when I did a 'mount /cdrom' the system went into a coma ;) I couldn't get nothing out of the keyboard. I tried ^C; ^D; ^Z and anything else that I could think of, but to no avail. I had to turn the power off -- yuk! BTW, /dev does have the above devices. So I thought it was because of the El Torrito thing ;) Any ideas?
