HI
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
I've just recently purchased a copy of <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/">Red Hat</A> Linux 5.0 and a new CD
drive(ie. I now have 2 CD drives) and I need to know how to mount them.
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
The 2 drives are connected to the IDE on my soundblaster AWE-64 sound card
and I need to know how to mount the drives from there. (I previously had
one drive and mounted it using <TT>/dev/cdrom</TT> but now what do I use?)
</STRONG></P>

<BLOCKQUOTE><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" alt="(!)"
	HEIGHT="28" WIDTH="50" BORDER="0"
	>
<TT>/dev/cdrom</TT> is normally a symbolic link (sometimes a hard
link) to some other device node such as <TT>/dev/hdc</TT> (first
device on the second IDE channel) or <TT>/dev/scd0</TT> (first CD
device on the first SCSI channel).
</BLOCKQUOTE>

<P><STRONG><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/qbub.gif" ALT="(?)"
	HEIGHT="28" WIDTH="50" BORDER="0"
	>
The two drives are:
<br>1) Samsung SCR-2030
<br>2) HP CD-Writer Plus 8100
</STRONG></P>

<BLOCKQUOTE><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" alt="(!)"
	HEIGHT="28" WIDTH="50" BORDER="0"
	>
These (and the fact that you refer to your Sound card)
sound like SCSI devices.  You'd simply find out which of
these your <TT>/dev/cdrom</TT> is linked to (by mounting it as
normal or inspecting the 'ls -il' output of your
<TT>/dev/</TT> directory).
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><em>
	[ And, you could tell which one it was since its light will flash
	  when you mount the disc. --&nbsp;Heather&nbsp;]
</em></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
For the other you'd use a command like:
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
mount -t iso9660 -o ro <TT>/dev/scd1</TT> <TT>/mnt/cdrom1</TT>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
... where the -t specifies the filesystem type (ISO 9660
is the standard for normal CD's), -o is a set of options
(read-only in this case) and the next two parameters are a
device name (second SCSI CD drive), and an arbitrary mount
point (usually an empty directory under the <TT>/mnt</TT> tree
--- or an empty directory in any other convenient location).
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
You could name that mountpoint anything that your filesystem
will allow (just about anything).  I use <TT>/mnt/cd*</TT> or
<TT>/mnt/cdrom*</TT> as prefixes to these names for obvious reasons.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
If this new drive is on an IDE interface its likely that
you'd use something like <TT>/dev/hdc</TT> or <TT>/dev/hdd</TT> for the
device name.
</BLOCKQUOTE>

Any help will be appreciated.
</STRONG></P>

Thanks
