The CD drives appears in the earlier version as /mnt/cdrom
The BIOS doesn't mention it; it is detected on boot and
reported.
There are two integrated IDE controllers, the HDs on
the first, the CDROM drive on the second.
Have two 3.5 in floppy drives,  desktop shows CD-ROM 0
and Floppy 0.  Wonder what happened to the second
floppy.  I'll put in a diskette and see
If I open a terminal window and enter "mdir A:" I get
the directory of the floppy in the Floppy 0 drive.  If I
put the diskette in the second drive and type "mdir B:"
it shows the contents of the floppy.  I enabled it in
the BIOS, but it doesn't show on boot or in /mnt
The other day I put a data CD in the cdrom drive and
had no trouble displaying contents.
BIOS sees both HD, but the second isn't formatted
and I don't expect to find a mount point.
How do I run Disk Druid from Red Hat?
This is a Shuttle motherboard, not the latest and
greatest, but it is many years younger than the case.
Choppy
