First of all, congratulations! having a working Gentoo system without any previous Linux knowledge is a terrific start! I assumed that you knew what fstab is and how to modify that file because it is explained in the Gentoo Handbook, which is the reference to install this distribution. As explained in the Gentoo Handbook chapter 8 [1], you manually created a text file under "/etc" called "fstab". This simple text file contains all the necessary information to, let's say "auto-mount" your different devices. This is my fstab, I post it here as an example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/hdc1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2 /dev/hdc3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1 /dev/hdc2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/floppy/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw,user 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/RIC vfat defaults,noatime,user 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /mnt/ZERO vfat defaults,noatime,user 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/USB auto noauto,rw,user # NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will # use almost no memory if not populated with files) shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usually, adding this "/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0" should be enough to have your cd-rom/cd-rw/dvd working =). If that does not work, then let us know and see if we can figure out something else. If it does work, then great! go on enjoying Gentoo Linux. You learn a lot using Gentoo. Is the only distribution that gave m the chance to learn a lot about Linux. It is very stable and flexible, you always have control over your own system, that is very important. Regards, Ricardo.
