if you have evdev support in your kernel, and dbus and hald in the boot |
| 19 |
or default run level, your cd/dvd should automount in /media. |
| 20 |
If you have gone with the current kernel trend it will be /dev/sr0 (sr_ |
| 21 |
something anyway) all hard drives will be sd_ and there will be no hd_. |
| 22 |
Aliasing will probably allow you to umount /dev/sr0 and then |
| 23 |
mount /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom. Easier to go with the flow and leave cd/dvd |
| 24 |
out of fstab and up to auto. |
