Thanks Mark. Is there also a way to do it with both as modules, say something like:
[conf.modules] options -k cdrom hdc=/dev/hdd options -k ide-scsi=/dev/hdc
??
If not, I can build them in, but I'd rather use modules if possible, since the CDROM is only used occasionally, and the ide-scsi only needed for burns.
Thanks again.
