Date: Thu, 09 Nov 1995 21:59:37 -0800 Organization: Adept Solutions Lines: 29 Message-ID: <roy-0911952159370001@adept.cts.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: adept.cts.com hiya. Just installed 2.0.5, but when I went to power up after a shut down, I got thrown the message cd9660: /dev/cd0a device not configured. (no cd in the drive) When I boot with a cd (any cd), I don't get the message and I get to the login. I take it that something is trying to mount the cd regardless if there actually IS a cd in place. (I have a chinon 2x drive) I installed OFF the CD, so its working fine, its just that I can't get 100% through boot without a cd in place. Since this situation is RARELY desired, is there someplace (/etc/rc ??) that I can comment out this auto mount attempt?? (and leave the mounting of the cd to when *I* want to mount it?) Please e-mail *AND* post.
