Very Computer

Hello everybody,

I am trying to set up my first Linux system.  I put a Mitsumi cd-rom drive into a computer.  
After loading the boot and root disks, I noticed that linux is looking at irq 10 for the cd-rom
drive.  It is located at irq 14.  Is there a command after loading the boot and root disks to
tell the system that the drive is at irq 14?  I have looked through a couple of books and the
cd-rom HOW TO from my InfoMagic cd-roms, but cannot find the answer

Thanks for any and all help,

-Timothy

If the IRQ is 14 it most likely uses the IDE interface, not the (proprietary)
mitsumi interface.  Use the ide/atapi cdrom driver.  I'm sure there is a
HOWTO, or at least a README, telling how to use it.
