all is well now....
don't know how it got started on the DVD-Rom, but i copied the dvdrom line over to my cd rewriter
but excluded the ro option(it is a burner)
here is a copy of my /etc/fstab, if it will help anybody else out with the supermount issue.
/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,sync 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0
Thanks for your patience.
