[Mac-on-linux-users] CD burners and MacOSX

[Gerhard P. <ger...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a CD burner to work with MoL 0.9.72/MacOSX on my AmigaOne
(kernel 2.6.16.49) with Debian Etch. The drive is recognized by MoL and MacOSX, if I use the ide-scsi emulation (which is considered to be
deprecated), but MacOSX does not detect it as a CD burner. I don't have much experience with MacOSX, thus I would be grateful for a hint.

Also there is a slight problem, if I try to boot from the MacOSX install DVD (startmol -X --cdboot). As long as there is no disc in the CD burner
(with ide-scsi emulation), MoL/BootX stops booting. Probably because the CD 
burner shows up as the first device in the list of SCSI devices.

List of SCSI devices:
1. SCSI device: 0,0,0 (CD burner - /dev/hdd with ide-scsi emulation, AFAIK becomes /dev/srcd0)
2. /dev/cdrom (normal DVD drive - /dev/hdc handled by ide-cd driver)

The CD boot device is defined like this in molrc.osx: 
blkdev:	/dev/cdrom -cd ${cdboot}

Any ideas?

Thanks!

regards,

Gerhard
