autofs on gentoo won't mount dvds
 
Have gentoo running on machine with 3 dvdroms which i want to mount using autofs. I made sure my kernel has appropriate modules installed and installed autofs userland program as well. I've configured the /etc/autofs/auto.master to look like following
============================================
/mnt/auto /etc/autofs/auto.misc --ghost
============================================
I've configured auto.misc in the same folder to look like

============================================
cdrom1 -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/dvd1
============================================

then I made sure to start the autofs daemon in /etc/init.d/autofs start
as root.

If i understand correctly this should mount my second dvdrom once
I instert the dvd disk. However it doesn't. I see the /mnt/auto folder
being created when i start the service but cdrom1 folder is not created
when i insert a disk.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

thanks
