CDROM not working

[vicviper]

installed gentoox
RAN MAGIC....... FOUR HOURS LATER
trying to play music cd's or mpeg cd's but i cant seem to get the cdrom to work

are there some steps I have todo to get the cdrom working?? 1st??

[msnyder]

mount /dev/hdb/cdrom

[vicviper]

i did that command as root#xbox:

but it said no
bash: mount/dev/hdb/cdrom: no such file or directory

and that is a quote

[msnyder]

There is a space after mount...
"mount<space>/dev/hdb/cdrom"

[vicviper]

cant find dev/hdb/cdrom in /etc/fstab or etc/mtab
running this command as rootxbox#
from gentoox login
thoughr i usd the su and went to root user

[nobspangle]

try
mount /dev/cdrom
if that fails
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
if that fails
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
if that fails
mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom

DAAAAAMN ok will do ill let you know how it goes

[vicviper]

Mount point mnt/cdrom doesnot exsist

[winterborne]

mnt/cdrom does not exist

Unless you're in the root directory ('/') it's important to add the beginning slash: "/mnt/cdrom" when declaring the mount point.
