hi. i am using uml-patch-2.4.18-22 and i have a problem. i have been looking at the docs but i could not find how to map a iso image as a cdrom drive. well, i can use ubd0=/foo/bar/image.iso but it appears like a hard drive in devfs: /dev/discs/disc0. it is possible to map it to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0? i know that uml cant know that such file is an iso image so it has to map it as a cdrom :-) so... what can i do? ohh, i am not suscribed to this list, so... can you cc to my email? c ya -- Eagle fly free Let people see just make it your own way leave time behind follow the sign together we'll fly someday ... Helloween. |
