Actually, that is just a thing they do to make it more user friendly. /dev/cdrom is just a symlink to the actual device. [kremer at RHINTTEST kremer]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 11 15:59 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdd Joe, have you used this particular media before? If not, did you do a md5sum on the CD's? RH9 actually has that built into their CD's now. Boot off the CD and when given a boot: prompt, type "linux mediacheck" and it will check all your CD's for you. If it comes up bad, verify the md5sum of the ISO(s) you burned the CD's from, and then if all is well, try burning again.
