Messed up fstab and /dev

Post #1 of 3 (1783 views)

I don’t know what I did, but I messed up fstab and /dev/cdrom. Fstab used
to have an entry /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0. It now reads
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0. I can’t mount a cdrom
with it because there is no /dev/cdroms directory in /dev. I can’t go back
to mounting /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom because I get the error: mount:
/mnt/cdrom is not a block device.

All help greatly appreciated!

Have you tried using /dev/hdc (or similar)?
