I did my research but would like a confirmation on this procedure before I
begin. I need to add scsi emulation for my dvd (hdb). I already have a
working cdrw (hdd). Here are my steps:
1. edit lilo.conf with:
append=" hdd=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi devsfs=mount quiet"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(for each boot option)
2. run: $ sbin/lilo -v and then reboot.
3. check devices with: $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
4. edit fstab by removing old /dev/hdd entry and add:
/dev/scdX /mnt/cdrom etc......
(where X should be 8)
5. Add link:
ln -s /dev/scd8 /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/scd8 /dev/dvd (xine requires this for example)
Question#1: Would I want to add this to /etc/module.conf:
options ide=cd ignore="hdb hdd"
I saw a reference to this, telling ide to ignore hdb and hdd.
Question #2: How many logical units does scsi emulation create for each cd
device (I believe 8)? Will I need to create a node in /dev? Such as:
mknod scd8 b 11 8
Thanks for your help.
