CDROM
I cannot seem to mount my scsi cdrom when previously i could.
I have tried different combos of mount and mount_cd9660 etc
and i get 'device not configured' for cd0a which is in the fstab
file. Do i need to do a MAKEDEV every time i reboot the server ?
I also cannot remember the exact line i used before to mount
the drive but i maust have used it today:-( Sorry if stupid Q's

Boot Manager
I have a disk that previously had dos and bsd on it. I now want
use it for dos/novell but i cannot get rid of the boot mgr
and it will not let me repartition the hard disk properly.
I have tried reformatting it etc, no luck.
Help !!
