Here's how I get it working every time (on 2 different machines through 3
re-installs):
1) DVD-ROM at hdc supermounts as /mnt/cdrom, CD-RW at hdd supermounts as
/mnt/cdrom2
2) Ensure that both drives use ide-scsi, i.e /etc/lilo should contain the line
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
3) Run the k3b setup, allow it to add its own entries, but (here's the key)
make sure the mount points are set different to the supermount points, e.g.
DVD-ROM mounts at /mnt/cdreader and CD-RW mounts at /mnt/cdwriter. This
should give you a /etc/fstab looking like this:
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdreader auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0
0
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/cd /mnt/cdwriter auto rw,noauto,user,exec 0
0
4) I have noticed that the autodetect of the required driver doesn't work too
well sometimes, so you may want to make sure k3b setup specifies the driver
required when it writes the entries. Otherwise, just edit the fstab as
required.
