Red Hat 4.0 Installation Problem from a Mitsumi Double Speed CD ROM
DRIVE.

I went to the DOS mode , tried to install RED HAT 4.0 from my Mitsumi 2X
CD ROM .
1) cd D:\dosutils\autoboot  ( my CD ROM Drive is D:\ )
It went through the process without any problem, when it get to
selecting CD ROM to install Linux , it can not identify my CD ROM.

I tried mcd=0X340, 10   it did not help. It simply said, it could not
find the device. I tried several times, no luck

Later I copy the files in the  RED HAT CD to my harddisk ( 600 MB ),and
made two floppy disks: 1) Boot disk 2) Supplemental disk  . I was able
to install Red Hat 4.0

Now I had the problem in running XFREE86_3.2, My video card Diamond
stealth 3D 2000 is not supported. So I have to move XFREE86_3.3. I have
already downloaded it from the NET. It is in my DOS partition , how do I
move it from DOS partition to Linux partition. I tried everything to
mount my dos drive, I simply can't see it.

Please help me.  

Unable to Install Red Hat 4.0  from Mitsumi 2X CD ROM

Quote:>find the device. I tried several times, no luck

This is the image for the Mitsumi proprietary drives. One possible way
to get things going would be using either a correct option, like

mcd=0x340,10

(no spaces)

or setting the jumpers on the adapter card to I/O 0x300, IRQ 11 .
That's what the standard kernel expects them to be.
