Ok, this seems pretty easy. If the kernel recognized it, then the first step would be to find out what device name it places it as. (Where you're at right now.).. First off, is it an IDE/ATAPI CDROM drive? If so look for it under the /dev/hd<n> files where <n> is a number from 1-?. Otherwise, if it's a proprietary interface, see if you can find it in the CDROM documentation in the kernel. This should tell you which device it attaches it to (IE: In the case of a SONY CDU31A drive, this results in /dev/cdu31a.. pretty simple.). Ok, I won't be that lazy. Sanyo eh? Here's what I found: Try /dev/sjcd. This is the device that the default Sanyo driver should attach your CDROM to. Hope this helps. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
