This is completely true when I do not use hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi . However, when I use the ide-scsi options then /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 & cdrom1 disappear and the mount doesn't work anymore. rescan-scsi-bus.sh is not waking things up and finding the devices yet, but if I do cdrecord -scanbus it then finds the two devices and I see some new devices under /dev/scsi with long path names that end in the word generic. I'm not sure what to mount to use them though. > > Assuming hdc is, in fact, removable media, have you considered > automounting the drive?

I'll possibly look into automounting when I understand devfsd a bit better. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
