| i recently posted this question regarding on how to set up scsi emulation
for both my CDRom drives.
this is a older box with a AMD K6 @500 mhz & the kernel that i am using is
2.4.27. i do not want to install a 2.6.* kernel because of other reasons.
all i would like to know is what entries / changes i need to add to fstab &
other related files to get scsi emulation working.
thanx

I handle my CD-RW SCSI emulation via kernel boot option. In my
particular case, I have this as part of my default boot in my
/boot/grub/menu.lst:
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz ro hdc=scsi
The hdc=scsi option is sufficient to take the CD-RW drive, that would
otherwise appear as /dev/hdc, and have it instead work as /dev/scd0

is that all? would i need to also make a symlink somewhere?

I don't think there are any particular links you need to make, except
possibly something like /dev/cdrom, if you want it to link to the
appropriate device.
