Hi, I don't have a MITSUMI, but I have an old Soundblaster CDROM hanging off the sound card. This makes the cdrom the 5th ide device, or /dev/hde. The defaults in /dev only go up through hdd. When I first did an install I had to install the base off a hard drive. Then after the first reboot (half way through the install) I was able to switch to another virtual console and: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV /dev/hde Then I was all set. Later I did a: ln -s /dev/hde /dev/cdrom I apologize if this has nothing to do with your problem, but I sounded like it did. Good luck either way.
