Thanks for the pointer. Sadly, no joy here. The scripts are so specific to the systems in use that this person cannot map the postings onto the workstation in front of me. I suspect there is some detail or concept that I'm missing for all to make sense.
Perhaps there is another way?
1. How do I configure so that the ultra-bay HDD and DVD are "always
visible" even though only one is active at the time? How do I avoid
getting a new and unique device name with each device activation
so that the end-user has clues what to manipulate without arcane
geekish incantations every time?
2. How do I enable "use HDD" vs. "use DVD" at any given point?
3. Once enabled, how do I "mount media" (DVD) or "mount filesystem" (HDD)? I understand the mount command and /etc/fstab, but suspect
there will be more because of the situation?
