Hello to the SLUG

I am trying to resolve a problem with automount and my CDROM. I am
running Red Hat 7.2 and the automount worked up until about a month ago
when I upgraded from RH 7.1 to 7.2. I have a standard IDE cdrom and it
still works fine if I boot with a DOS floppy.

If I run etc/init.d/autofs status I get :

    Configured Mount Points
    
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    /usr/sbin/automount -- timeout 60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc
    /usr/sbin/automount -- /dev/fd0 yp file /mnt/floppy/vfat
    /usr/sbin/automount -- /dev/cdrom yp file /mnt/cdrom iso9660

    Active Mount Points
    
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    usr/sbin/automount -- timeout 60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc

I believe the text of the auto.master file is incorrect but I cannot
find any proper example of what the CDrom entry
should look like. It has:

        /dev/cdrom file /mnt/cdrom iso9660.

In addition when I try to manually mount the CD using /bin/mount -t
iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom I get:
        /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device.
   
Where do I look block devices up? The floppy will manually mount.

Thanks in advance for any help.
