Okay, had some time to play around once more ...

Here is what I get:

-bash-2.05b# dmesg | grep cdrom
cd0 at scsibus0 target 6 lun 0: <TOSHIBA, XM-4101TASUNSLCD, 1084> cdrom 
removable
cd1 at scsibus1 target 6 lun 0: <TOSHIBA, CD-ROM XM-3401TA, 0283> cdrom 
removable

-bash-2.05b# mount /dev/cd1 /cdrom2
mount: cannot open `/dev/cd1': No such file or directory

Now what is going wrong here?

Are external devices not to be found in /dev/?

-bash-2.05b# ls -artl | grep cd1

I would appreciate if someone could shed the occasional ray of light on 
this :)
