mount point cdrom resolved

[plener]

i am posting this since i cannot find my previous post and i know this will help others--i cound not access my cdrom or my dvd
this is how i finnally did it --knoppix 3.4 installed on hd


dmesg |grep -i cd

this is my print out from above command

hdb: SONY CD-RW CRX140E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: IDE DVD-ROM 16X, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX140E Rev: 1.0n
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0

Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 4x/40x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray


notice what sr0 and sr1 say

then i mkdir /mnt/peter

now all i do to mount my cdrom is

mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/peter

sam for dvd

mount /dev/sr1 /mnt/peter

hth

it looked like a nice answer to my problem but my problem seems to persist.
I am in fact trying to boot a fedora-dvd but this didn't work at all. So I put the filesystem on the harddisk with knoppix.So I could put the fed*dvd directly on the harddrive.
Strange thing, knoppix recognises the cd of knoppix in the dvd rom but if I start the computer with the cd player. I cannot mount the dvdrom in knoppix. so i tried

dmesg | grep -i cd

problem is I only find the hda and hdb but no line like sr0 or sr1. I tried different mount points and different device names but none of those in the shown list seem to work. Is there an other way to get my dvdrom bootable or to get the iso file on the harddrive.
First thing I'll try to do now is to flash the bios. May be that'll give me a fair chance. If any possibility, please tell me
