Remapping cdrom drives in Debian Etch

(1/1)

cymon:
I have recently swapped out my old IDE CDROM for a SCSI CD-RW.  Of course, the cdrom is still set at /dev/hdc. Obviously, there is nothing there.  The CDROM is on an AIC-7890 controller, supported by linux, and Linux recongnizes the cdrom, it just won't mount it.  The cdrom is SCSI ID 1.

cd /dev

ls -l /dev/cdrom

should be (broken) symlink pointing to /dev/hdc

if so

rm /dev/cdrom

ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

Check that /etc/fstab is set up for /dev/cdrom and not /dev/hdc

otherwise change /dev/hdc in the fstab to /dev/scd0
