I'm making a fossil+venti file server using two 500GB SATA drives and a SATA DVD, and have trouble to use the DVD drive.
Using a iso image of a couple of days ago, it does not come up, but only 9load from CD can run. So, I connected the SATA HDD drive to another machine and installed the system. Why that CDROM cannot be detected? Another question: Why the SATA drive begins from /dev/sdE0, not /dev/sdC0? More deeply, why HDD drives start from /dev/sdC0 fro IDE, but not /dev/sdA0? Kenji
