Corey,

    For IDE CD/DVD-ROM drives, I wrote this:

error_count=0
echo -n "Mounting the DVD drive "
mkdir /mnt/vlct_redhat 2>> ${STD_ERROR_LOG}

error_count=`expr ${error_count} + ${?}`
echo -n "."
sleep 2
echo -n "."

if
  [ -d /mnt/vlct_redhat/RH7.3 ]
then
  :
else
  mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/vlct_redhat 2>> ${STD_ERROR_LOG}
  error_count=`expr ${error_count} + ${?}`
  echo -n "."
  sleep 2
  echo -n "."

  if
    [ -d /mnt/vlct_redhat/RH7.3 ]
  then
    :
