}This ought to be a simple question, but I can't find the magic combination
}for linux 1.2.13 to recognize my new CD drive. Here's what I've done,
}all in my old 1.2.13/a.out system:
}
}1) I installed a Mitsumi 8x IDE CD drive as "slave" device on 2nd IDE.
I was running 1.2.13, with my Mitsumi 2x, since upgraded to 2.0.26, but
I just replaced a Mitsumi 2x with a Mitsumi 8x slave on 2nd IDE.
ls -l /dev/hdd yields:
br-xr-xr-x 1 root root 22, 64 Feb 27 1996 /dev/hdd
Entry in /etc/fstab is:
/dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 user,ro
I can mount it with:
mount /cdrom
There's bit of an interesting approach to mounting the thing in
/etc/rc.d/rc.cdrom as follows:
MOUNTPOINT="/cdrom"
