Well I don't either, it was just a typo which caused me to notice when I
tried to mount. Basically all that there was to it is it said it
couldn't recognize the CD-ROM as a block device. I have a Matsushita
CR-585, 24X... That prompted me to look
back at my kernel config because I thought I hadn't included CDROM
support. But sure enough it was there, listed
as compiled into kernel, but as a module it worked fine.
