I am hopeing that someone that also has a CD-ROM drive the FX001D can help me out here, in configuring the cd-rom drive, so that when at bootup it will be mounted...
If I boot right from the linux floppy disk, when it gets to the point of mounting my CD-ROM drive I get this: MCD=0X360,11: init Failed. No mcd device at 0x360 irq 11 But if I let the system boot up using MSDOS, it then loads everything encluding my cd-rom drive, then once I get the msdos prompt, I insert the Bootable linux disk into the floppy drive, and do a soft reboot CTRL-ALT-DEL and then it boots up using the Linux floppy... When it gets to the point of loading of the cd-rom drive it then loads in and shows this: MCD=0X360,11: Mitsumi Status type and version: 10 D 2 Double Speed CD ROM It works this way but this is not the correct way of setting it up... So my device for my cdrom drive is not HDC, the device block is MCD am I right or wrong...??? With this info how can I have it mounted upon booting up Linux, in the FSTAB file, meaning the correct way do it... I have printed out HOW-TO CDROM and it is listed as this for my CD-ROM drive... Loadable module support: YES Device: /dev/mcd, major 23 Configuration file: mcd.h Kernel Config option: Standard Mitsumi CDROM Support ? README file: MCD This file I have not found???? This driver accepts a kernel command line of the form: mcd=<ip-address>, <irq> This I allready no what the I/O and IRQ is mcd=0x360,11... Specifying the I/O base address of the card 0x340 and the irq request number used. The device file can be created using: # mknod /dev/mcd b 23 0 I am not sure or understand what the b 23 and 0 means either... Now I have not tried the above of mknod as of yet, since it also mentoned to see file mcd for more information on this driver...Now what else would I need if anything...??? Reading thru the whole CDROM-HOW TO there was no more info that I could find on this cd-rom drive... I am not sure what mknod does, and if by doing just what it says would it mount automatcially when I boot up, or do I need to put something in the FSTAB file... If so, what would be the correct info to put into the FSTAB file... Thanks for any help that you can pass on to me I would appreicate it...
