hello,

i'm running dsl2.2-embedded under win2000 and I cant access my cdrom-drive to listen to music under xmms.

what I tried till now:
1) using the System Mount Tool: error message "no media found"
2) console: mount /mnt/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom (and the same with sudo): error message "cant find /mnt/cdrom in /etc/fstab/ or /etc/mtab"
3) i tried to access the cdrom directly from xmms without success

any ideas what the problem is?

thanx for your help
Thomas

It's running under qemu, so you don't have native access to your drives.

You can either:

use some networking sharing technologies
or
allow qemu to access the drives directly,

before mounting

Both have been discussed around the forums.
