Hi Jeremy. Thanks for your help. No I don't have a /dev/cdrom the only things in dev are /dev/console /dev/null and /dev/tty. How can I make a symlink to the real device? Suse's fstab doesn't say which IDE device it but mtab says its hdc and hdd is a cd rewriter. The mtab lines from SuSE are as follows
/dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder subfs ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom subfs ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8 0 0 Do you have any suggestions as to how i might implement something like this for LFS.
