something like this:

/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

Code:

/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrw noauto,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom noauto,users 0 0
/dev/hdX /mnt/dvd noauto,users 0 0

Obviously the /dev/hdX depends on which channel your DVD is on and whether it is master or slave... the naming convention stays the same for add-in IDE cards.

The reason your cdrw is /dev/scd0 and not /dev/hdc is because it should be using ide-scsi emulation in order to function as a burner under Linux properly. If you're not done this, then edit your bootloader config file (/etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf) and add hdc=ide-scsi to the append section (kernel parameters).

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Chup. Editted appropriately.

please note, in the above post "hdc=ide-scsu" should be "hdc=ide-scsi" !
i know its just a spell error, but dont think antoweb will like adding the wrong one to his bootloader config
