Can anyone help me with the format of the fstab file ? I'm trying
(unsuccessfully so far!) to mount the cd on my win95 machine on my Linux
box.
The line below is my entry in /etc/fstab

Hydra:cdrom /cdrom nfs timeo=14,intr

On boot, the Linux box reports RPC port mapper failure. I've tried
different formats, putting slashes in, everything except physically
threatening the machines with a heavy object. 

Is the entry in fstab all thats required ? 
Do I have to specify the filesystem (msdos, iso9660) anywhere else ?

The two machines are connected via NE2000 compatible cards. I can ping from
each one successfully and telnet into Linux no problem. 

John.
