Re: Zip and CD-rom (part two)

 1. As i mentioned I have an IDE zip-drive, it is recognized as a IDE floppy
 drive, but it looks like a driver is missing or something, because it does
 not want to read it. It says it doesn't have a msdos-file format, which it
 does.
 2. Same message on HDA3, where some linux packages are located. Here's my
 partitioning on the 3,2 GB HD
 HDA1: Boot 120 MB
 HDA2: Root 1 GB
 HDA3: msdos-type (for now) with mail, packages and stuff like that.
 Is the problem that HDA3 starts after 540 (or something around that) MB ?
 (woh, problem just solved (needed HDA5 for that partition)
 
 I still cannot mount CD-rom and zip though

 Just plug in a zip-disk and check with fdisk that it can be read (at least 
 the partition table on the disk). 

 How are you trying to mount them ? The exact commands ?

Zip and CD-rom (part two)

1998-06-08 Thread Marc van der Vossen
MV I have a problem with my secondary IDE channel. I have a CD-rom as
MV slave ans
MV a Zip-drive as Master on that controller. When I insert my Debian-CD,
MV install goes OK. Then, after reboot, dselect starts and I say; load
from
MV CD-rom. That's the place it does not work. I tried installing a mitsumi
MV driver with the following settingns,
MV mcd=0x376,15

No, this line is used for the running the a mitsumi cdrom attached to a
soundcard (IIRC).

You don't need any driver for atapi devices.
A ha, that's clear.

You said it does not work, but what message do you get?
It said something like CD-rom not found or something like that

When you choose dselect's cdrom method, it will ask you about a block
device.

master at the 2nd IDE controller is /dev/hdc
slave  at the 2nd IDE controller is /dev/hdd

Try this when dselect asks you.
Works, just got to figure out how this CD was made. It says it hasn't a good
structure and asks me to enter the paths.
Just a few more q's:
