interesting how people answered this, it wasn't really a question, more of
a statement of disinterest, since I planned on replacing all of the IDE
components anyhow. But thank you anyway. This PC does have two IDE
buses, the first one has two hard drives, the second one has just the
CD-drive. There is a SCSI card, which has a CD-writer, a CD-rom drive,
and an MD-Data drive (and sometimes an external hard drive or so).

I havn't thought of this. I forgot file could be used on "special" files.
I just first something like:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt
...
mount /dev/hdc /mnt
mount /dev/hdd /mnt
...
then nothing worked, so I thought.. wtf.. and looked in /proc until I
realized it just wasn't there at all.
