Thanks, but unfortunately it did not work. The error message was something like "can not mount cdrom /dev/scd0 is not a block device.

Provided that scsi loaded the cdrom should be /dev/scd0 (that a zero, I miss the ones with a dot/slash). Just enter that at the prompt and hopefully it will work. If write back to the list and someone will let you know whatever more is needed. --Dano > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 26, 1999 12:57 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Installation > > I am trying to install Debian 2.1 from Official Debian CD on a system with > WIN98 installed, and SCSI CD Rom, which is connected to Adaptec AVA-1505 > adapter (according to the list supported by Linux).
