I have installed Basic Linux on a 486/33 with32 MB RAM. using the 
"HD-install" procedure. Followed that with L.Savage's advice on 
installing a CD-Rom drive, as given in Basic Linux_350: Post 
installation suggestions. But I cannot read what files on the CD with 
the command, "ls /mnt/cdrom". Nothing happens I am dumped back at the 
prompt.

Yet , when I say,"dmesg|grep -i cd-rom" I recive the correct output 
(according to Savage)

Neither can I access the files on hda1(DOS).

Being a total newbie I would appreciate any pointers in syntax or a good 
source of man-pages.

Thanks for your help.
