Hi Johns.Yep , that's as it should be, provided you have the amended append= line to include scsi-em for your writer. Do you also want your cdrom scsi-em, because if so it has to have another entry as well.
OK I believe that I finally managed to edit my lilo.conf file as
directed. I just checked my /sbin/lilo file, this is what appears.

I'm assuming you want just the writer, and hd(x)=ide-scsi, where (x) is the drive letter of the writer
is all you need here.
No it , that goes in fstab
I see nothing about nay CD ROM or CDRW drive there. Must I add this in some way?
I'm not sure if these will work as they appear to be supermount, and on my machine supermount does not work with scsi-emulation, but some do find it to work.
About the /etc/fstab file: This is what is currently in there.
/mnt/hdb /mnt/hdb supermount dev=/dev/hdb,fs=auto,--,user 0 0 /mnt/scd0 /mnt/scd0 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,suid 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
What must I edit and how? My CDRW drive is mounted as hdb and my old CD
ROM is mounted as scd0 I believe.
I therefore use automount which has a different line like this,
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
you also need a directory in /mnt called cdrom, if there is not one, then,
in a root terminal
mkdir /mnt/cdrom <enter>
then
ls /mnt and it should show up in there as cdrom.
then in root terminal, mount -a to mount it.
Maybe all this already exists and supermount works for you. You should also be able to add an Icon on desktop for both your rom and writer if you so wish.
