Getting CDRW to work in Debian

2003-11-29 Thread Walter Dnes
I have a DVD (hdc) and a CDRW (hdd) on a machine. The only defined mount is /cdrom, which is actually the DVD. In Redhat, I simply added append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" to lilo.conf, ran lilo and re-boot and both of them worked as did cdrecord. This does not work in Debian (2.4.18-bf2.4).
