Problem with fstab


When my system boots I end up getting an error message:

"etc/fstab cannot stat /dev/cdrom1"

None of my cdrom drives work in fluxbox when the system finishes booting. My fstab is as follows:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Any ideas?

cdrom's will not work "in" fluxbox... the to things are totally unrelated. your fstab just looks plain wrong... you have two entries for cdrom1... which i'd have thoguht would be a prety logiccal starting point... does /dev/cdrom1 exist?

Well, how many cd drives do you have? Could you give the drives whatnot your want mounted? I could try and give you the entries you need if you tell me exactly what is on your comp.

And get rid of the two cdrom1 entries, those shouldnt be there. Did you put in any manually or was that created by teh installer? Because with me I had no problems at all with cd roms and the fstab. To me, it looks like you added something to it which the fstab doesnt like.

Nope...Fedora added the entries. I have 3 CD drives...one 24x Internal writer. One Internal DVD and one usb external 52x writer. I haven't manually edited my fstab. And yeah...I did notice two entries for cdrom1 but I would think that one of my other two drives would work.
