This ought to work from other OS'es besides BL2 as well.


I loaded BL3 with a BL2 kernel (no need for CD-ROM modules) and attepted 
to mount the CD-ROM drive (/dev/hdc) in BL3:
mount:  Mounting /dev/hdc on /cd failed:  No such file or directory
I chrooted to BL2 and mounted this same CD with no problems.

Using the BL3 kernel, I can insmod ide-cd and cdrom but isofs will NOT 
mount in BL3 - Device or resource busy.  48X CD-ROM drive, works in DOS 
and BL2 but not BL3.

BL3 uses busybox mount, BL2 a 61K mount.  I should try the latter in BL3.
I now have two computers on which BL3 won't mount CD-ROM drives.
