The following is the contents of my /etc/fstab.
When my computer boots I get the message "cannot stat /dev/cdrom" and the cdrom is not useable. My cdrom1 has been broken for sometime now. I have removed some spaces because of wordwrap in yahoo mail.
Either the symlink to /dev/hd? is missing, or the device is not recognized by linux anymore. (dead?)
Check dmesg for funny things regarding the device, and ls -l /dev/cdrom would help too.
