Re: ide cdrom -> scsi emu problems



I`ve tried your solutions, but I recieve another type of error, specificly::

alpha:/home/mechanical# ln /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom 
ln: /dev/cdrom: File exists
alpha:/home/mechanical# ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom 
ln: /dev/cdrom: File exists
alpha:/home/mechanical#

The same error occures when I switch the /dev/scd0 and /dev/cdrom in the ln command.

Any suggestions for this ?

Thanks for the help so far guys, i appreciate it.
