Very Computer

i have just purchased the developers set of linux (sep96) and have part
installed it. where i am having trouble is i can not get my cdrom to be
seen.i know you can copy the cd to disks but i am trying to avoid that as i
would like to install straight from cd.
 It is a creative sb16 the badge ontop of it say model no.cr581b
manafactured june 1996. i have tried installing slackware v3.0 using the
boot disk of sbpcd.i, bare.i, & mcd.i
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

It is on the TERTIARY IDE interface. You must specify the
interface location at the bootprompt.

Example: ide2=0x1e8,0x3ee,11

This depends on how your system is set up. This is documented in:
   linux/Documentation/ide.txt

Make sure it is in MASTER mode, and then it will appear as /dev/hde

Good Luck!

Jason,

I'm having the same problem, and have been told to order the Newest
Slackware96 CD which has the 2.0 kernel, and the problem corrected.
