No. /dev/cdrom is just a symlink to /dev/hd?. I'm guessing that
the
cdrom is not connected to the slave of the first ide controller
(/dev/hdb), but rather is the master of the second ide controller,
/dev/hdc. That's a pretty common configuration. You might check
where
your BIOS says it's connected (F2 or something for SETUP at boot).
I'm assuming this isn't a CD-RW (in which case you need ide-scsi
support
in the kernel) and isn't a SCSI device.
No, it's a regular 36x CR-ROM made by Digital Research Technologies. I
had
tried all of the suggestion so far - so decided to go for broke and
try
/dev/hdX for all values of X ;-0
...well it's apparently /dev/hdd !!!!!
Thanks for all the suggestions. This is THE BEST "support"
mailing list I've
seen so far - and it's *free*.
