I am running Mandrake Linux 10.1. I am presently unable to mount my cdrw drive and there is no obvious automatic way to mount it. There is no entry for cdrw in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Also, I want to be able to boot from this drive. My CMOS indicates that this cd drive is the first checked, but I have been unable to boot from it.

Could you give a little more information?
 
You are running Mandrake now, so I assume that you installed it with the same cdrw drive, or was it added after installing Mandrake?
 
If you installed the cdrw drive after installing Mandrake, did you jumper the drive properly?
 
Is it detected in the bios, or seen as the system starts up?
