Hi, gentoo.
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!

It usually is /dev/sr0. There might also be symlinks like /dev/cdrom and
/dev/dvd but that depends on udev.
Hope this helps,

/dev/sr0 it is! I suppose that's mnemonic for Sata cdRom zero. ;-( The
symlinks are there, too.

Very much so. Thanks!

Probably it's /dev/sr0, but you can find out for sure by looking in
/dev.

Actually, that would be Scsi cdRom. Your SATA devices are treated like
SCSI devices.
