First you need to make sure where is the correct mount for the drive.
"cdrecord -scanbus" this command will display the scsibus0 and / or scsibus1 and the drive that is on this channel.
I'm not sure of the cd-writer but the first drive on the bus normally is /dev/sda1. You might try, with data cd, mounting. If this works then it should be a simple mater of placing the correct links in place to be able to use this drive as a cd-writer.
You need to place the correct append statement in the lilo file.

Subject: [expert] USB CDR/RW include on fstab Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 09:35:06 -0400 From: Gonzalo Avaria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi Experts, how are you. I hope everything is going great. Well, i have a little question, very basic. I bought a Asus external USB CD-R/RW unit, and want to install it on linux, i would like to know if this line on the fstab it's OK for a CD-R unit or not:
/dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
where ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrw has been done,. So, do i have to add anything else or is it all right? I'm asking because if i mount the unit i recieve the following error:
gonzalo~ > mount /mnt/cdrom2 mount: No medium found gonzalo~ >
With a data or music cd inside. The same always. I have to mention that the cdr unit is made to work with USB 2.0 to get the higest speed, but i've been told that if i work with a USB 1.1 (wich i have) the unit will work OK but at the minimun speed. So, any ideas?? Thanks for your time Best wishes to all.
