Hi,
Ok, lets see if I can be of help :-). I think this
should work......
In your /etc/fstab, you should try adding the
following:
/dev/fake_cdrom1 /mycdrom iso9660 defaults,umask=022 0
0
(making sure that the above appears on all one line)
You will also have to make sure that the file
"/dev/fake_cdrom1", is symlinked to where ever the
file "cd_image_1.iso" is.
You can then save the file, and type in the following:
mount -a
which should (fingers crossed) mount your image of
your cdrom drive.
Now, if this doesn't work, there is another solution.
You could, put the command:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop >cd_image_1.iso /fake_cdrom1
into your "boot.local" file, which would mount this,
at every run-level....
I hope that this works though. If it doesn't, I shall
have to put my thinking cap back on :-)
Let me know how you get on,
Regards,
Thomas Adam

A couple of months back I got some good advice from Simon Wood and others about mounting CD-Rom images
[Simon Wood] You can create a binary copy of the contents of a CD >to a file on the disk with: dd if=/dev/hdc of=cd_image_1.iso bs=1024K
assuming /dev/hdc (secondary master) is you cdrom drive, 'bs' just sets the block size and speeds up the >copy.
Then you can mount this image as if it were a normal >CD with: mount -t iso9660 -o loop >cd_image_1.iso /fake_cdrom1
This works brilliantly but I'm having problems adding these to fstab. Every way I try it doesn't like. If the image is mounted as /cdshare/img1/img.iso can someone suggest the correct instructions to stick in fstab?
Thanks
