SCSI CD-Rom Writer Problem

Post by Ron Balc » Tue, 10 Nov 1998 04:00:00



I have a SCSI CD-Writer that is attached to my 2940UW card.  At boot time,
Linux finds the drive correctly and calls it sr0.  There isn't such a device
in /dev for me to mount to???  Have I missed something?  Sorry if this is a
really dumb question, I am kinda new to Linux (trying to migrate from SCO)

you can make de sr devices with the command: makedev sr0
or make a bunch with : makedev sr*
