by I'm running RedHat 5.2. My disk configuration is as follows:
ide0: Master Western Digital 5gb hard disk
Slave Western Digital 2 gb hard drive
ide1: Master Memorex 40x cdrom
Slave HP cd burner
AdvanSys SCSI: 0 Tandberg 2gb tape drive
1 IBM 2gb disk drive (my root
disk).
I installed cdrecord and xcdroast. In order to access the cd
burner, I had to enable ide-scsi emulation, and turn off the eide
support for ide cdroms (involved a kernel rebuild). Everything works
fine now, except I can't figure out what device the cdroms are at to
mount/read cd's. The Memorex
used to be hdc, the HP hdd. I aliased the AdvanSys to be the first
scsi adapter and the ide as adapter1. I can't figure out which device
to mount the cdrom on. If I try hdc, I get error messages about illegal
scsi instructions ( I expected this to fail). The device for my root
disk is sda2 (the first partition is for swap). I expected the cdrom to
be sdb1, but no luck. My hard drives are still hdax and hdbx. What
device should my cdrom's be?
