As root: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt If this works, but it won't mount for non-priveledged user: (as root): # chmod 777 /dev/fd0 # sysctl -w vfs.usermount=1 Make sure the non-priv user owns the directory trying to mount under. If it works now, chmod 777 on your cdrom as well. If it's ISO9660 (CD9660) fs, should mount w/o the -t argument, since by default it should be listed in /etc/fstab. If all this is the solution to your prob and you want it to automatically enable usermount at each boot: # echo "sysctl -w vfs.usermount=1" >> /etc/rc.sysctl Hope that helped.
