I'm running Woody (2.4.22) and have two cd-roms. The first (/dev/scd0 mounted at /scsi) is a genuine scsi drive and I have no problems with it. The second is an IDE dvd-writer. I enabled scsi emulation and put an entry for it in my fstab as /dev/scd1, mounted at /dvd.
Before I emulated scsi, I referred to it as /cdrom and it worked fine. However, when I changed to the scsi emulation I couldn't get /usr/sbin/base-config to work. Every time I try to install a package, it wants me to insert my debian cd in /cdrom which it couldn't find. Same thing happened with ripperx. Whenever I start ripperx it complains that it cannot find the cd-drive. I tried making symlinks (/dev/scd1 -> /cdrom, /dev/scd1 -> /dev/cdrom and /dvd -> /cdrom). It didn't solve the problem. Because I had symlinks all over the place, I tried to tidy it up a bit and ended up deleting /dev/scd1. Not knowing how to get /dev/scd1 back, I renamed /dev/scd16 to /dev/scd1. Now I cannot mount my dvd-writer. I have two questions: 1. How can I correctly recreate /dev/scd1? 2. How can I get apps that point to /cdrom to access /dvd (or /dev/scd1)? Please note: I have been told not to use base-config, but that's not the point of my question. Whether I use it or not is irrelevant. The point is that I cannot use it and I would like to have the problem fixed. Any help and advice will be appreciated.
