Very Computer

Perhaps this question has been answered...
I have an Aztech 268-thingy CD ROM drive connected to a secondary
IDE connector. How do I get Linux to recognize this this so that
I can save valuable space on my pitiful 420Mb hard drive?

If it's anything like the 468-thingy, you just need to add the parameter
"hdd=cdrom" to your boot line, either at your lilo prompt (or in its
config file) or however you load your kernel. My drive came preconfigured
to be the slave drive, even though there's no master on the second
interface (no hdc). This worked fine for me, but the system complained
about it, so I added "hdc=cdrom hdc=noprobe" in and it worked fine.

Good luck.

If things don't work try to add 'cdrom=hdd' on the LILO prompt.
