Hello , First of all excuse my english .
I am trying to install cdrecord in my PC with a IDE CD Recorder . To install the ide-scsi emulation It is supposed I have to edit the lilo.conf file , and put in the append line something like that :
append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
This assumes you have two CD devices. If you have only one, and it is the master on the second IDE channel, then append="hdc=ide-scsi" may be all you need. The book's example isn't real clear on this.
but I have an append line wih the next text : "BOOT_FILE=/boot/vmlinuz" I have no idea what is the purpose of the BOOT_FILE parameter .
As far as I know, that line is left over from the last time LILO was modified. Just type over it with your new append instruction. I just did that today (using YAST) and had no problem. If you are editing the file directly, you could comment out that line then add your new append line.
I have tried with :
append="BOOT_FILE=/boot/vmlinuz hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
but it does not seem to work .
No, that won't work.
May anyone tell me what is the BOOT_FILE parameter for ? and How can I configurate the ide-scsi emulation ?
