You didn't give a mount command. You're probably used to
having the computer do it automatically when you load the CDROM.
Apparently you are not setup so that you have to do it yourself
with
mount /mnt/cdrom
If that works, "df" should show that the cd is mounted, and
its contents should be visible after you then do
cd /mnt/cdrom

cat /proc/ide/hdc/media
cdrom
I am not going to concern myself with the floppy just yet. I figure I can
fix that with the same DISTRUCTIONS as for the CD.
