Getting CD Burner working with grub

[eXtremist]

The CD Burning NHF says how to set up ide-scsi emulation using LILO. Problem is, I'm using grub. Does anyone know how to get this working in grub?

Here it is...

if you use GRUB, you add
hd?=ide-scsi
to the kernel line in your menu.lst file. Note that there are no quotation marks, and the word "append" does not appear. You do not need to run GRUB for this to take effect; GRUB knows where this file is and reads it every time it boots.


Ensure you DO NOT allow the kernel line to continue on the next line (line break) and that it is all on the same line. Found out from experience. Kedit had line wrap on and ended up actually with 2 lines.

Thanks!.. Took me a bit to actually FIND the menu.lst file, but once I found it everything worked.

Sorry as I assumed you knew the whereabouts of menu.lst. Wasn't hard to find though?

That last bit about the line break really got me. Took awhile to figure out why the thing wouldn't work. Persistance and a little bit of logic pays off.

Yeah.. I was using PICO to edit the file, and that wraps lines also. Got around it though and everything is working just peachy.

Thanks
