During installation (of Slackware 7.1) the computer is able to boot off of
the CDROM drive, and successfully scan the /dev/hdc EIDE CDROM drive during
the kernel load, but when it comes time to mount the drive I get the error
message:
mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist
A quick look in /dev shows only
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1
and
/dev/hda2
I have tried the CDROM as Pri/Slave, Sec/Master, and even Sec/Slave but
nothing works.
What is next?
Slackware 7.1 on a Pentium 200 with a 2 gig IDE drive and an EIDE ATAPI
CDROM drive.
HELP !!!
