Hrm...is there a disk in the drive? ;) It could be a bad disk, so try some others that you know to work. I'm also not sure what crazy things macs might do with cdroms, so maybe someone with a little more macknowledge could say something on this. Besides that, the line in fstab might be wrong, here's mine:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 If that doesn't work...hrm...get a new CD? heh... let's just hope it was a dirty disk ;) On Tue, Jul 10, 2001 at 09:15:30PM -0400, Russell Hires wrote: > Okay, thanks for the info.
