> Hello!
> 	Can someone show me how to mount and use a dvdram disk?

Not exactly. But the general process is:

1) Find the documentation on the dvdram hardware and file systems.
2) Write drivers to talk to the hardware.
3) Write a file system to read files from the disk.
4) Install those, then do:

	# mkdir /dvd
	# mount -t your_dvd_fs /dev/your_dvd_device /dvd

In short, there isn't support for them yet.
