Yeah, there are a crapload of messages that show up, aren't there? :-)
According to the web page, you need to ALSO compile in SCSI support, since
the USB mass storage driver (appartently) just masquerades a USB device as
standard SCSI.
"Since the mass storage driver presents the USB device as a SCSI device, you
need to turn on SCSI support, which is under SCSI support in the
configuration script. You should also turn on subordinate options as
appropriate to your mass storage device - usually one or more of SCSI disk
support, SCSI tape support, SCSI CD-ROM (this would be you) support and SCSI
generic support"
Then, after compiling SCSI support in, you make a mount point (just mkdir
/mnt/cdrw or some such), and then put a mount command into /etc/fstab:
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0
Note that the actual device (/dev/scd0) may be different for you; my (SCSI)
CD-RW shows up as /dev/sr0.
You should then just be able to "mount /mnt/cdrw" - and see the CD disk in
there.
Writing to it is a different matter. :-)
