Re: Help, with Debian 2.0 install from CD-ROM not part of HDD card
It looks like your cdrom is one of the early ones that runs off a propitary
interface and reqires a special driver. Later cdroms run off the ide
controller and use a common driver, regardless of brand.
Later drives are recognized automatically by Debian, yours will require just
a little more work.
As root, run modconf. Go to the cdrom modules and choose a module to install.
