Hi All, I am running Mandrake Air 7.0 on an AMD 233 Mhz system using 96 megs of ram. The install went well, and it saw all my DOS partitions for Windoze and listed them on the desktop, along with the floppy and CDROM drives. However, there is no entry in fstab for my IDE-ATAPI AIWA tape drive. Lothar minimally sees it as /dev/hdd (2nd device on the secondary IDE channel). I've tried manually installing it through linuxconf applet but I'm either not doing it right, or don't have all the params correct. I can't get Linux to recognize or initialize the drive. Any help on this would be appreciated. It's my intent to use the tape drive for backups. The drive works flawlessly on the Windoze side.
