  Glad to hear you got it working at last.
as for your cd.  Thats a simple one
the above line wont work unless you have done a mkdir cd2
than yes it will probably work
easiest way is to add a similar line to /etc/fstab (??same under rh??) I use
slackware
then u can rust type mount /cd2
hope this helps
Tony
