The only thing is that the cdrom will never get mounted at boot time
unless there is a cdrom in the cdrom drive , same deal for  the floppy .
The magic here is the word "auto" which says automatically mount the
device specified in the first column  to the mount point specified in the
second column .

Kind Regards,

thanks Kostas;
I tried ading the command for mounting the dos partition into the etc/fstab
file and it's working fine...
But I've noticed an issue linked to the Modem for my ADSL connection!
If the dos partition is mounted automatically by the magical "auto"
parameter ;then my Modem don't get operational after login to the RH
system...I have to unmount the dos part so that it could get it
operational...so i changed the "auto" param to "noauto"; and i opted for
mounting the dos box manually after login...
 any ideas about this problem?
    thanks Indeed....
regards
othman
