apt-get install scsiadd For example, to add my CD-ROM, I do: scsiadd -a 1 0 2 0 These numbers are host (bus) 1, channel=0, id=2, lun=0. For your typical device, channels and luns are 0, the host is the SCSI bus (typically 0, unless you have more than one SCSI card), and the id is what you've set the switch or jumpers on the device to. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and mh-e.
