I want to mount a CD rom in my SATA DVD drive. Having inserted the CD into the drive, I can't find an entry in /dev for it. I know the drive and the CD are working, because I installed my system using them. :-) My HDDs are on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. When I stick a USB stick in, it it becomes /dev/sdc. However, my DVD drive is not /dev/sdc, it's not /dev/sdd. I've tried 'ls -lrt /dev', yet there's not entry there after boot time. Would somebody please help me to mount this CD. Thanks! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
