Re: [PLUG] arg! Linux renumbered devices again!
|
Straaaange,
I decided to reboot the machine since it is, after all, my PC and not a
server. This time, I looked in the BIOS and saw the CD is the
"Secondary master" (whatever that means...), and saw linux detect it as
/dev/hdc. Sure enough when I booted up, it was /dev/cdrom2 as well.
Not the order I wanted, but as long as it appears.
