The messages went to your console and to the system log file. Use
'dmesg' to retrieve them if you are running under X.
> GoodNight:~$ lsmod
> Module: #pages: Used by:
> pg 2 0
pg would not be there if it had not found your device.
> epat 3 1
> paride 1 [pg epat] 1
> GoodNight:~# mount /dev/pg0 /cdrom
> mount: /dev/pg0 is not a block device
As the message says, /dev/pg0 is not a block device. It is a special
"generic" device that currently supports _only_ the cdrecord utility.
If you want to access your drive as a data device (rather than a CD-R)
then load the 'pcd' driver instead.
If you have parport installed, you can have both pg and pcd loaded.
