Doug,

I would love to be able to help you but I am not very good with
command lines which is one of the reasons I installed the server. I
think if you go back and follow the commands listed in the second post
on this thread you should be able to find the cdrom. Then you can edit
/etc/fstab as shown in the third and forth post. Be sure to change the
name of your device to whatever the first command shows. In my case it
was /dev/hdd and after making the change to fstab remember to remount.
