Well, that depends. If (as I'm guessing) the install process put
"hdc=ide-scsi" in your lilo.conf, because you have a CD-R
(CD-Recordable) drive, then your drive is *not* /dev/hdc, although it
was under 6.1.
*If* I'm right, then your drive *is* /dev/scd0, although it was
/dev/hdc under Mandrake 6.1, but then you couldn't write with it under
6.1 and you will be able to under 7.0 (once you get a fixed version of
mkisofs, that is--the shipped version is defective--see my home page
for more info).
But I'm just guessing because you really didn't supply enough
information.
Do you have a CD-R drive?
Could you past in your /etc/lilo.conf file?
Could you send us your startup messages (output of dmesg)?
Then I could know instead of just guessing.
