[NCLUG] error: "mount: No medium found"

[Daniel Herrington]

Luke,

Did you load the sr_mod module?  I think it's needed for mounting
ide-scsi cdroms for reading.

cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig
(select SCSI support; SCSI CD-ROM support; then save and exit)
make modules; make modules_install
/sbin/modprobe sr_mod
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom1

Regards,
   Daniel
