I'm trying to install my cd-rom with mount /t iso9660 /dev/scd0 -r /mnt
but it gives an error "/dev/scd0 is not a block device"
when I do a "ls -l /dev/scd0" it clearly IS a block
device(I presume the first character in the file type means
b=block, c=character).

Does anyone know how to mount a pas16 cd-rom drive?

thanks.
