Dell Latitude RH 9.0 No CDROM After Install
 
I installed RedHat 9.0 on my Dell Latitude CPx Laptop. I have installed twice (from CDs). After install, I cannot mount a cdrom. There is no entry in /etc/fstab. There is no device "cdrom" in /dev. The /mnt directory is entry. There is no CDROM or FLOPPY directory as would be expected.

How do I get my cdrom mounted?

This may sound like a strange question, but are the floppy and cdrom on your laptop actually USB devices? If so, then they may not be automatically recognized by RedHat.

No they are not on USB.
I booted with hdb=cdrom and that got it working. Not sure if thats write, but it did the trick
