Re: 164LX, Scsi DIsk, and IDE CDROM Help?
replying to my own message:
here is what I have when trying to mount, just ignore the root partition.
cavan:/etc# mount -a
cavan:/etc# mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)

cavan:/etc# mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
mount: error while guessing filesystem type
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/cdrom: Read-only file system

Helge,
thanks for your reply.
I am using the iso image, kernel 0, graphics kernel, generic, that is on
the first disk.
I have not looked in /proc/IDE, I will do that and see what I can find,
The error messages all referred to not being able to find the disk,
attempting to read beyond the end of the disk, and so on. I will see
what I can do to collect the error message and post it.
I apologize for my brevity, I am usually the guy who finds the thing
that everyone else knows NOT to do!
Thanks
bob
