How to control devices (DVD) ??
Hi,
I have a problem controlling devices on my iMac.
The internal DVD is no longer working. Therefore I have bought a new external DVD, but some programs use the internal by default (Boot Camp for instance).
Since iMac, runs UNIX beneath the Mac OS X, I hope to do some magic, by unmounting the internal DVD and put in the external one instead.
I have looked in /dev, but I cannot see the internal DVD. If I attach the external DVD, it pops up as disk2, but only if there is a DVD in it.
The harddisk on the computer is disk0.
Is there a way to get info about the devs in /dev ?
I will very be happy, If someone has suggestions on how to solve this kind of problem?
