Thank you now I can mount my cd rom drives and i know how to add them to 
fstab so they get mounted at boot time.  However i have had problems 
with my system hanging during a reboot if the cd is scratch or dirty. Is 
there a way to mount these devices with less priority so if they dont 
work the system will still boot. Have had the same problems with nfs 
drives as well there must be a way to fix this problem i have of my 
system hanging forever if the remote files are offline for some reason.
