I'm having probs installing on my 486.  I have an IDE ATAPI CD-ROM drive (the
brand is Vertos 400).  At first, the probe works great -- it finds the IDE
ATAPI CD-ROM drive and seems to mount it.  However, when I actually try to
install something, it says "mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdb /mnt2/mnt/cdrom
/mnt2/mnt/cdrom: No such file or directory".  Then, it thinks that it has
successfully installed Linux, when in fact it has installed very little.

Thanks.
