I am new in Linux.

I have an external Sony DVD writer connected via ieee1394.

When my knoppix boots up, it does not recognise the device. I read a number of articles in this forum and find the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script. I ran the script and then run 'cdrecord -scanbus'. The DVD writer showed up (it was not there before running rescan-scsi-bus.sh).

According to various articles on this forum, the next thing I should do is to mount the device using command lines:

mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

However, I have already got a 'sda1' directory under /mnt and an external USB hard drive has been mounted on it.

My question is: what command line(s) that I should issue in order to mount the DVD writer?

Many thanks!
