Install Fedora on computer with SCSI CD-ROM

seriesx4 · 03-15-2005, 03:57 AM

I have a Advansys D347PRT SCSI PCI Adapter and SCSI CD-ROM.

It's not possible to make BIOS boot from this CD-ROM. How to install Fedora?

I would guess a boot disk, but I don't know which one or where to find it.

/*Edit*/ Using Fedora Core 3, 64 bit version BTW.

I think you will find your best bet is to use a standard cdrom from another machine or by borrowing one temporarily from a friend to do your install. Even if you find a boot disk you may have problems with fedora seeing the scisi during the install unless they have made major improvements since RedHat 9.2.

I'm in FC3 right now actually, did it with an harddisk-install from WinXP's hda0, with the use of wingrub.

Was a bit surprised though, that the installer could read the ISO's from an NTFS disk.
