debian 4.0 stable cdrom issue
 

Hi folks,
I know that this is a common problem faced, and there are few dozen posts regarding mounting /accessing cd/dvd . But i was unable to sort out the problem by searching and reading those posts.
I have just installed debian4.0 stable using debian.exe( details goodbye-microsoft.com), so basically its a net install.
Most of things are working fine except cdrom.
when i do any attempt to mount cdrom i get following error message:

#mount /cdrom
mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist

this is my fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda9 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda8 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda6 /var ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda7 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

if i do dmseg | grep cd or CD it gives nothing.
Strange enough i have install makedev , but there is no command called"makede" so that i can create the device file.

any solutions/help ?

thanks in advance

sorry i forgot to mention , i m using 2.6.18-4-686 smp kernel
