Connect CDROM
 

I have CD on my RH8 Linux , how can I mount the device ? how to know the device path of the CDROM ? thx

Well it depends on what type your cdrom is and how it is attached.
If you have an IDE cdrom, which you probebly have, your cdrom will be /dev/hd<somthing>. Your /dev/hda is mostly your hard drive. Most of the time, /dev/hdc will be your cdrom. If you have a nother cdrom device, it will be /dev/hdd. To mount a device do "mount /dev/hd<x> /mnt/cdrom" . If you get that your permissions are denide, try it as root.
It is possible that ide-scsi emulation is aplied to the device you want to mount. In that case, you will get this error message :

"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)"

in that case, your ide cdrom device is seen as an scsi cdrom device and should be mounted accordingly. In that case try "mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom"

Hope I'm clear.

i find the device as below, can suggest how to mount it ? thx.

edp//dev> ll -d cdrom
