OK, that's weird. I thought I used the >, maybe I didn't, sorry.... OOPS, let me try that again.

Code:
paul@Colossus:~$ cat /etc/fstab|grep cdrom
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
paul@Colossus:~$ dmesg|grep CD
hdc: SONY CD-RW CRX140E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
  Vendor: SONY      Model: CD-RW  CRX140E    Rev: 1.0n
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
BTW, mount|grep cdrom returned nothing as the cdrom was not mounted.

What's also strange is that my KNOPPIX system in hd installed to hda3. So, when it boots, isn't hda3 already mounted?

You, know, I never understood why all the partitions show up on the desktop when booting the liveCD and they don't when booting from a hd install.
