help debian filesystems

[danimalz]

hey everyone...

i dont usually post questions (easier to google, search, read, etc...)

anyway here's mine... :

i run a debian gateway / file server for awhile now. i am used to
recognizing devices as /dev/hda1 , etc.

i recently installed debian sarge onto a worktation to check it out,
2.4.27 kernel. Im trying to get the cdroms, etc. to mount via gnome, no luck.

so i try to look at various devices in /dev and don't recognize how it's done. some
strange entries such as /dev/ide/.../.../... unususal.

yet /etc/fstab has the normal mounts.

whats going on?? i'd apprec. a brief explanation plus relevant links.

thanks!

Make sure your cdrom is connected and defined.

# lsdev -Cc cdrom
cd0 Available 10-60-00-4,0 SCSI Multimedia CD-ROM Drive

#mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom

Try the above options
