recognize cdrom and partition

[gellin]

I need Gentoo to recognize my 2nd cdrom and my fat32 partition

I tried mounting them in fstab but either that's not right at all or I did it wrong. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

This how I mount my fat32 drive to "/bigdisk":

You should post your fstab if you want us to have a look at it.

here it is:


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.

# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>

/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdb2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hdb4 /bigdisk vfat noatime 0 1

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
