It can't see my CDROM drive.

you should check /var/log/messages to make sure that the drive is actually being detected, like here for example

Feb 19 03:44:21 excaliber kernel: hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Feb 19 03:44:21 excaliber kernel: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
Feb 19 03:44:21 excaliber kernel: hdd: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)

the log will contain all the messages and checks made at boot

It's working now.... dylunio helped me.
He told me to type "mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom" And that worked.

Hmm..... i got into /var/log but it wont go to messages... cause I dont think it's a directory. How do i get linux to display text files... or whatever kind of file this is??
