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. ^
