  • 1.  Mounting cdrom with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Virtual Machine

    Posted Oct 02, 2008 02:53 PM

    Following this article:

    I'm to the step where it says "If the ISO is not mounted..."

    Well it isn't and I can't seem to figure out how to get it mounted.

    I did the step in Virtual Center in the outlined procedure and it's acting like the VM RHEL5 should at least have a mount point available but doesn't.

    mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom - returns "mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist"

    I know the reason I'm getting this, I just have no clue how to fix it!

    The "mount" command on its own will tell you what is mounted. The error message is because the directory doesn't exist. Create it with "mkdir /mnt/cdrom" and your mount command will work.
