Hmmm... It works fine on my old Mitsumi 4X (!) CDROM. Typing "mount
/cdrom" pulls the cd into the drive and mounts it, although it takes a

I and the rest of the list would appreciate it if you told us what
CD-ROM you have. Perhaps there's something funny with these newfangled
32X and faster CD-ROMs they have out.

Thanks...
