HD Install :: cdrom on hd install

Can someone explain why when you install dsl to hd, on the boot screen, it says automounter started for floppy,cdrom? When dsl loads, neither one is mounted. When I try to get something off the cdrom using emelfm it says permission denied. The hd install worked perfectly on a compaq presario with an amd k6 at 530 mhz. dsl runs great, just cant figure this cdrom thing out. I did a search and found some posts that I am going to try. I dont have internet access at my house, so everything I do I have to go to my inlaws and look it up and then go home and see if it works. I am just curious why this is?

have you tried using emelfm as superuser, from the menu?and click on the mount tool at the corner of your screen? this is what i do to get files of floppy or cdrom after install dsl(frugal)
mine also says auto mounting at the boot screen,but i still have to use the mount tool then go to mnt in emelfm and click on cdrom or floppy to see whats on them.
