Thanks Rod, now another question: Where do I add that? Is this somthing where I have to "make xconfig"? I want to be able to write CD's without going to windows everytime, it's about all I use it for now! On another note, my new job is requiring everyone in web dev to have a dual-boot windows/linux box... : ) ----Original Message Follows---- From: Rod Roark Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: fstab problems Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 18:32:23 -0700 I see you have append="hdc=ide-scsi" which is good. However you need to also load the ide-scsi module, i.e. "modprobe ide-scsi". The drive will then become something like /dev/scd0, not /dev/hdc.
