You can't be too conformist.  Or, wait... non-conformist?  Sigh.

Anyway, once it loads, it's unmounted, and it stays that way.  I figured out I can't use CDROM, because it's already in use (USB) and I can't use USB because it's irregular (and besides, it's mounted at /CDROM/).

Aw man... I just want to be able to boot from my USB and have my MyDSL set up.  No, that's never enough... then, I'll want to burn a new distro once I have everything tweeked.  But I can't do that because... CDROM can't be mounted bec... aw!  :angry:

I'll keep looking.  If anybody has any more ideas, please chime in!
:O

Even the "/cdrom/" is mounted with the contents of the sda1, if you put a CD you can see it in "/mnt/cdrom".

If you put another usb device, it creates a new mount point, like sdb1 in /mnt/.

So you are able to work with CD's and other devices in USB

I hope this help you.

As root copy over the extensions to /cdrom
It is that easy. No further mounts are needed. So simple.
Then those extenions will auto load at boot time.

Well, I've got a half-way solution... I included some UCIs in the root of the USB stick, and they load into ram automatically when the system boots up.

I can't mount either the /cdrom/ or the /sda - mount just fails using the desktop mounter.  I'll try it through console, but I think I tried that already and I don't remember it working -- but I didn't sudo it.  That will be my next attempt, along w/ copying some MyDSL packages that I have on my HD.  I'll boot up and see if I can see anything.  Who knows, I may be back online w/ DSL in a few minutes.
