104500 2002-12-09 08:45:00 When operating in a minimal linux environment (all on a floppy!) what is the command line for mounting the cdrom.

I would have thought:

mount -t /dev/cdrom /mnt

but this line needs detail on the filesystem (vfat/ext3 etc) doesn it - Also. I not sure that /dev/cdrom is correct in this environment also ?:|

104501 2002-12-09 09:06:00 You will need to specify the filesystem after the -t. Try:

mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

If it doesn't like auto (some don't), use "iso9660" instead.


But, /dev/cdrom probably won't exist. Just use either /dev/hdc (secondary master) or /dev/hdd (sec slave).
