Hi,i have redhat 8.
My problem is that in directory /dev/ there isn't a file "cdrom",
so i can't mount my cdrom.The error msg is:
"mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist"

My cdrom working normal before i formatted and made a new install
of the same distribution.The install become with cdrom Secondary Slave,
but now is Secondary Master.

How i create the <cdrom>?
