[Sheflug] IDE SCSI (was Re: CD Writing)

["Craig Andrews" <nospam [at] fishbot.org.uk>]

You then have to tell it which drive to use. Compile it into the kernel (it's much easier that way, strangely enough) and edit lilo.conf

in the line starting 'append = "', and the following:

hdc=ide-scsi

assuming you want hdc to be supported by the SCSI driver. Insert the correct name, of course.

Then, change fstab to use /dev/scd0 rather than /dev/hdc for the cdrom drive, and there you go, one rather nice scsi-fied IDE device.

It's in the kernel config, but not in SCSI.  Hang on a tic... 

Aha.  Turn on SCSI support, then go back to ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support, IDE, 
ATA andATAPI Block devices, and just under IDE Floppy support there'll be 
the option to turn it on. 

Voila!  Knew it was in there somewhere...
