cdrom drive not working

[Roy Nickelson]

hi,
then according to what you say my cdrom drive should be hdc.  it is the 
first device on the second controler.  the other device on that 
controler is the zip drive and it is hdd.  The hard drive is by itself. 

here is the fstab file 

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        
1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        
1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  
0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        
0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        
0 0
none                    /sys                    sysfs   defaults        
0 0
/dev/hda3               swap                    swap    defaults        
0 0

 /dev/cdrom, is usually a link to /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, etc..
 What is the device ID of your hard drive, and how many hard drives do you 
 have?
 
 The first IDE drive, on controller 0, (the primary), should be: /dev/hda.
 The secondary should be: /dev/hdb.
 The primary on the second controller (controller 1), should be: hdc.
 and so on.
 
 In fact, maybe you could send us a copy of /etc/fstab.
