first the entry was not on the list of devices, then i found in the man that
something need to be
added in the /etc/fstab file so i added the line
/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro, noauto

but still it does not work.
I have one IDE cdrom and one SCSI dvd rom.
I took a look in the /dev folder and noticed there is no cdrom file. is it
normal ?
I found there are 2 files starting by "cd": cdu31a and cdu535 are they my
drives ?
