Hi, 

I'm migrating my Mandrake 8.2 system to a new laptop (Toshiba 2400).
This machine has a DVD/CDROM drive, but when I boot I get the following
message: 

Assigning raw devices: cannot locate block device '/dev/dvd' (No such
file or directory)

Once the machine has booted, the CD works fine, but not the DVD (no
surprise). I also have a second floppy listed in fstab:

/mnt/floppy2 /mnt/floppy2 supermount 
dev=/dev/fd1,fs=vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,sync,codepage=850 0 0


which reappears if I try to remove the entry (I think). 

Searching for this DVD error message I found one post (not Mandrake,
SuSe perhaps?) that suggested appending nobiospnp to the command line. I
have tried this but it did not help. 

Any ideas?

Dave
