okay...i want to mount the drive in line 3...it's an IDE cdrw on hdc...it's using scsi emulation...

i type in to mount the drive (as root):

mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom

it replies with:

mount: /dev/scd0 is not a valid block device

anyone know what's going on here?

With scsi emulation, you have to tell it that it's an ide harddrive yet still. I believe it's scsi=ide or scd'x'=ide but I haven't had to worry about it so i haven't done it. That's what I'd look for.

is scsi emulation definitely setup in lilo, assuming you're using it....

i have the line

append=' hdc=ide-scsi '

in my lilo.conf, and then scd0 works fine
