Any thoughts? i just tested, everything worked out of the box (both in ide and in scsi emulation) the only pb i found is i can't open the tray using grip interface when there is no cd-audio

That'll work, but this was just meant to be something added on the TODO list for 8.2.

[Cooker] 8.2beta{2,3} and grip (no /dev/cdrom)
I'm afraid that with the new betas I've installed, I can't use one of the most used applications (at least on my machines) -- grip. Whenever I fire it up, it says: # grip Error: Unable to initialize [/dev/cdrom] Yep, there wasn't a /dev/cdrom symlink to my cdrom (in this case being /dev/scd0) so I created it. Still doesn't work. Even *with* the symlink, it complains. Any thoughts? -Charlie -- GPG Key fingerprint = 4F36 EC4F 2F2C 5F59 9690 09E5 4C0F 9DB0 8623 53CE People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time. -- Norman Cousins
