Subject: [gentoo-user] 2008 minimal install hangs mounting /dev/hda2 looking for CD

1 How do I tell the minimal install where the CDROM is?
2
3 It apparently goes out trying to mount anything and everything
4 looking for the CD, and the first time it finds something that
5 isn't a valid filesystem, it hangs. First it hung trying to
6 mount hda1 (an empty partittion).
7
8 So, I booted Knoppix and created filesystems and a swap
9 partition on hda. Now, when it gets to hda2 (the swap
10 partition), it hangs trying to mount that.
11
12 Since when could hda1 or hda2 be a CDROM?
