hiya.

Just installed 2.0.5, but when I went to power up after a shut down,

I got thrown the message cd9660: /dev/cd0a device not configured.
(no cd in the drive)

When I boot with a cd (any cd), I don't get the message and I get to the login.

I take it that something is trying to mount the cd regardless if there actually
IS a cd in place. (I have a chinon 2x drive) I installed OFF the CD, so its
working fine, its just that I can't get 100% through boot without a cd in
place.

Since this situation is RARELY desired, is there someplace (/etc/rc ??)
that I can  comment out this auto mount attempt?? (and leave the mounting
of the cd to when *I* want to mount it?)

Please e-mail *AND* post.

Thanks
