Subject: [Cooker] 7.2 Beta bug report

> "scd0", I had to change this "manually" to correct the problem.
>
> 2)
> The ide-floppy option DOES NOT SUPPORT THE "EJECT" button, on my zip drive.
> This is a very very
> serious and frustratingly annoying "BUG". Without "eject" button support,
> the supermount support of the
> zip drive is totally USELESS !!!!! I was able to fix this on my home
> machine, by changing the zip drive to
> use ide-scsi, instead of ide-floppy, and pointing the device to "sda4" , but
> I couldnt get this to work on
> my work machine, which again is frustrating, because , I would like to
> "show-off" my cool linux machine,
> which should be just as easy as "windows" but I cant, because of these ugly
> glitches !!!!
