Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers SCO OpenServer 5 Will Not Boot Post 303026802 by spock9458 on Monday 3rd of December 2018 01:24:17 PM

The contents of /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi changes whenever I go into "mkdev cdrom" to make changes. I have tried to remove the cdrom drive and start fresh twice, and I need to have a couple of things clarified, I think: #1 - is the "mkdev cdrom" the right command to start with? #2 - what is the difference between adding a driver or adding a device? If I start with trying to add the CD Rom device, it says that I first need to install a driver. So I proceed to install a CD Rom driver using my IDE info (which I think is Secondary Master), rebuild kernel, etc. and reboot. Then when I go and try to add the CD Rom device, it tells me there is already a device configured with that IDE info. At no time, however, have I been able to do a successful mounting of the CD using:
Code:
mount /dev/cd0 /mnt

So I know I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what to do differently.

EJECT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  EJECT(1)

NAME
eject -- eject a floppy disk, cdrom or tape SYNOPSIS
eject [-fv] [-l | -L | -U] [-t device-type] [-d] device eject -n DESCRIPTION
The eject program ejects a medium from the specified device. It can also load a cdrom in the drive if this operation is supported by the hardware. The device argument specifies a device either by its full path name (identified by a /dev/ prefix), or by one of the built-in nicknames. If the medium contains a file system that is currently mounted, eject will attempt to unmount the file system before ejecting. The following options are available: -d Deprecated. -f Force the eject operation without attempting to unmount any file systems first. -l Load media in the drive (only supported for the cdrom device type). -L Lock the media into the drive (but see BUGS below). -n List the built-in nicknames on standard output. -t device-type Specify the device type. The argument must be one of diskette, floppy, cdrom, disk, or tape. This option is necessary when ejecting a device for which no built-in knowledge is available. -U Unlock the media from the drive. -v Display some of the actions taken on standard output. BUGS
Most disk drivers automatically lock the media on the first open and unlock it on the last close, making 'eject -L' almost useless, since when it closes the device, it gets unlocked again. BSD
