Okay, I know that this question got answered within the last month, but I've
forgotten how or if there was a fix for it and can't find the appropriate
emails.

I have YDL installed on an external Quantum Fireball 1280, running on a PPC
8500. When in linux, it will recognize only one of my two internal drives.
Oddly enough, it recognizes the 4.5Gb drive that I have formatted as hfs+.
It won't recognize the stock Quantum Fireball 1280 internal (hfs) that I
want to use as my go-between. Sorry to bring this question up again, but if
anybody has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I've modified /etc/fstab as root so that user is an option to mount
the cdrom. I then do /bin/mount -a, but I'm still not allowed to mount cdrom
in my user account. It still tells me that only root is allowed to do so.
I'd also like to know if it's possible to put more than one argument for
type in /etc/fstab on one device (ie: /dev/sda0 /mnt/cdrom iso,hfs
ro,user).

Guess that's it. Thanks.

Hamlin
