You have to specify the whole device for a CD-ROM, ie in your case it would be /dev/hdb. Then, if your CD is master on the second controller, it is /dev/hdc. I advise you to make a symbolic from /dev/cdrom to /dev/hd? You have : 1st IDE controller master -> /dev/hda slave -> /dev/hdb 2nd IDE controller master -> /dev/hdc slave -> /dev/hdd (You can also have a look at the kernel messages during boot time, which you can review later with the dmesg command.) olive -- Olivier Tharan, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The determined programmer can write a FORTRAN program in any language. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
