ok , I'm running DSLinux, ext2, P233mhz, 2GB HD, 32mb RAM

I have DSL installed on my harddrive, everything was working fine, cdrom, floppy.

I created a swapfile for dsl in /opt , the swapfile works fine.

CDrom and Floppy stopped working. The specific error on boot is

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock -on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems.

So then I removed the swapfile from loading at boot in fstab, thinking that I would be able to access my cdrom and floppy again but this didn't work.

From what I've been reading it seems that it is perhaps (most likely) it was a symlink that is now pointing to the wrong place (for some unknown reason).

I try

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

and I get

/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount:block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type.

I also tried

mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

and that gives me the error,

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock -on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems.

My goal is to get my cdrom and floppy drive working again. Please help.

Maybe you really have too many mounted filesystems.

Does:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

or

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom

work?
