hp CDwriter 8200 and RH 9

[superjet]

Hello all,
I have an HP CDwriter 8200 (USB) and I am trying to get it to work with RH9.
I see it in the control center under usb, but I can not figure out how to mount the dumb thing.
This is the output of "mount"
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev)

Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks as always.
Jamie

I've had "interesting" experiences with USB mass storage and RH. I had to run "usbmodules --device /proc/bus/usb/001/004" (or whichever device the mass storage device created under proc). Then I could mount the device as /dev/sda1.

I understand that Mandrake will actually automatically mount the USB mass storage devices, but I've never tested that theory myself.
