I believe it's mainly scsi users whose name starts with A. So my personal
opinion is you get what you pay for, don't buy
a 50$ SCSI Cook book and expect great things, unless your last purchase was
a lottery ticket :)

RE: [newbie] Mounting a Detected SCSI CD-ROM?
John, Thanks for your continuing support. I'm going to change the id sometime this weekend. I do know, however, that the ID was detected when I ran Redhat 5. I'll do it anyway.

My SCSI CDROM was detected automatically at install and is ONLY listed as /dev/cdrom. I'm thinking your SCSI ID 0 may be the problem. John

After all, you don't have an HDA0, you start with hda1. I'm not real clear on how exactly that would work, but if it doesn't work as /dev/sda1, you may need to change your SCSI ID to something else.

You may have to manually link /dev/sdaX to /dev/cdrom to get it to work and then create an entry in your FSTAB to get it to work.

[newbie] Mounting a Detected SCSI CD-ROM?
Hello all, I've been lurking in this site for several months now and I finally have a question. Here it is: my SCSI is detected by linux and the appropriate modules appear to be installed and operating correctly. However, Ihe SCSI CD-ROM is not mounted; nor is among the list of mounted and unmounted drives. I want to mount it and use it as the cd player. I''ve referred to the how-to links and the man pages,but to no avail. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks folks. Cheers Paul Hoy
