When I try to mount my cdrom drives I get:
root@Enterprise:/dev# mount /cdrom
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

ok, check what your cdrom REALLY is called dmesg |grep CD (note capital letters)
for me i get
hdc: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW-241, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
it is the hdc part that is interesting.
for you it could beseveral diferent; hdb. hdc. hdd. hdh, scXY, srY...
now I would write:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
that should mount my cdrom, if i have linux installed i will edit the symlink /dev/cdrom to point to the corect device (/dev/hdc)

Cool, thanks. Worked like a charm. I've updated my /etc/fstab and now it works wonderfully.
