cdrom lost

[koyote <koyote@paonline.com>]

Well-

 I am running slink (2.1) on a thinkpad laptop. I use a docking station with a
scsi card and cdrom to install, and wanted to add a couple of packages.
 I have done this before without difficulty, but this time I cannot get to the
cdrom as scd0 or cdrom on mnt or dev. 
 There is nothing in fstab or mtab which appears to have anything at all to do
with the cdrom, or the scsi hard drive I want to use for backing up files.
(I haven't modified these files.)

Why is this?
