Re: ZIP drive question..
Here it is again.
PC also has a CD-RW drive (internal ATAPI) and the install lilo.conf
append line was:
append="ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi \
hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce "
and allowed CD-RW to work using ide-scsi interface??
So, on suggestion I tried the append options to:
append="ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off nomce "
and I have the samne problem (mount: /dev/hdd4 is not a valid block
device)
There seems to be an entry for /dev/hhd4
# /dev | grep hdd4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 68 Apr 14 2001 hdd4
And also for /dev/sda4 (has no meaning here)
# ll /dev | grep sda4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Apr 14 2001 sda4
I am unable to figure out the solution..
