Edit /etc/lilo.conf. You will see that there is already an entry for your
cdrw like:
append= hdX=ide-scsi # where X is the cdrw drive letter
now add the same for your cdrom drive like:
append= hdX=ide-scsi hdY=ide-scsi # where Y is the cdrom drive letter
Once you have saved your changes, in a terminal run lilo (as root):
# /sbin/lilo
Now edit your /etc/fstab file - this depends on what your fstab looks
like. For example mine looks like this:
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,exec,--,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
dev=/dev/scd1,fs=iso9660,exec,--,nosuid,nodev 0 0
Where /dev/scd0 is my cdrw and /dev/scd1 is my cdrom. Note that I am using
a newer kernel than the stock 2.4.8-26mdk that comes with ML8.1 so I am
using supermount - yours may be different as supermount is broken in the
2.4.8-26mdk kernel. The important bit is the /dev/scdX part.
And lastly (I'm not sure if this is absolutely necessary) reboot - I'm not
sure if just remounting the cdrom will do it so I just reboot.
