Re: [Sheflug] strange problem with CDROM...

["Graham Cox" <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

With the SCSI-Emulation, on my install at least, my CD-ROM drive is
accessable as /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hdc which it was before on the old
IDE system. This may be worth a try, just in case it's causing the problems
here.
