Hi Ben, hi @ll, thanx for this great tip! It did work fine for booting. But in the end i had to open my scsi-tower, attached to the SparcClassic Station, because after booting i did not succeed in telling Debian to use the second device for installing kernel modules and so on... :-( So I had to 'umount' the first dirve the hardest (by pulling out the cableing) way. I did change the scsi ids before but it did not help at all.
Now there is one more Potato in my small net @home. A slow one but it is a SparcClassic *happy* Happy Sunday, Chris > On Sun, Jun 03, 2001 at 01:41:14AM +0200, Chris wrote: > > > > [ S - SCSI ] [ I - IDE ] [ O - OTHER ] -- This CD uses Linux 2.2.15 > > boot: PROMLIB: obio_ranges 1 > > I assume you hit "S" here? > > > Vendor: YAMAHA Model: CRW4260 Rev: 1.0q > > Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > > Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 > > Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-32TS Rev: 1.03 > > Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > > Detected scsi CD-ROM sr1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 > > You have 2 CDROM's.
