[ I assume you have a SCSI CD-Rom drive ] cd to /dev and there type the following : MAKEDEV scd which will hopefully create devices scd0, scd1, ..., scd7 to access your CD. Yours will probably be /dev/scd0 then, and you should create a link /dev/scd0 -> /dev/cdrom olive -- Olivier Tharan, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ooops. Save your work, everyone.
