And to get scsi emulation, find which cd you want to be emulated (ie hdb or hdc), then edit lilo.conf to say something like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hdc5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="quiet devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off" <-- add [CD ROM]=ide-scsi vga=794 read-only Then, edit /etc/fstab and make it look like this (only the cdrom lines, there are many more lines): none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,unhide,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 You need to change dev=/dev/[CD ROM] to dev=/dev/scd0.
