I have installed debian 1.3.1 on a second harddrive, win95 is on the 1st.
I have a mitsumi atapi cdrom drive as a slave on the primary ide
controller, which is hdb (hda = win95, hdc = linux). I can't get the
cdrom recognised by linux.
Some of the error messages I get are:
cdrom not mounted successfully
the kernal doesn't recognise /dev/cdrom as a block device
mcd=0x300,11:init failed.No mcd device at 0x300
post install script 'cdromsymlink'( cd/dev&&rm -f cdrom&& In -s mcd cdrom)
installation failed.
When it asks for a block device name in dselect it won't recognise
the device name as a block device (and ^C won't interupt so I have to re-boot!)
Is this because the cdrom is a slave? What can I do?
Thanks in advance
