I tried the /dev/scd0 and /dev/sr0 (after manually creating it). Yes, I
checked to see if it had already mounted. This camera uses a 3" CD to
store the photos. I've heard that some users had to "finalize" the CD,
but that defeats the purpose of accessing it from the camera.

I last used this very same camera and CD a few days ago prior to
upgrading to FC3... Maybe I need to downgrade it or at least load the
last kernel rpm...

Any other ideas?
