1 Hi, gentoo.
2
3 I want to mount a CD rom in my SATA DVD drive. Having inserted the CD
4 into the drive, I can't find an entry in /dev for it. I know the drive
5 and the CD are working, because I installed my system using them. :-)
6
7 My HDDs are on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. When I stick a USB stick in, it
8 it becomes /dev/sdc. However, my DVD drive is not /dev/sdc, it's not
9 /dev/sdd.
10
11 I've tried 'ls -lrt /dev', yet there's not entry there after boot time.
12
13 Would somebody please help me to mount this CD.

15 Thanks!
